American Landscapes investigates the fraught politics of LGBTQ rights in America. A commentary on the struggles towards the legalization of gay marriage, this series is informed by my personal trauma as a closeted gay man rejected by my family once I came out.Incorporating images such as the American flag, Human Rights Campaign logos, blue-jeans, and pairs of same-sex paper dolls, I use a palette dominated by shades of orange and red to reflect upon my personal journey as gay Syrian-American.
