99 NAMES

“Your belief is a belief; my existence is a reality” – Divina Di Campo, Drag queen.

Homosexuality is still a crime in at least 74 countries, 13 of which impose death by public stoning as a penalty. “99 Names”, is a non-apologetic work for the double standard of society that we live in. An installment which does not seek approval to accept homosexuality. This series is a testament on how we have been manipulated for years by hypocritical acts of atrocity whilst believers loudly quote from their holy books in the name of religion. They connect religion with politics to have control upon us. To fit their shiny image of love whilst criminalizing the act of love.
