An exploration of identity and sexual well being. To be exposed is to be naked and that can mean a whole lot of things to a whole lot of people. Me -I took it quite literally. 

I took the liberty to utilise myself as a model for reference. Painting in all my favourite hues. I wanted this to show how confidence and what it means to love your own skin 

In my experience as a young mixed, blak, queer man navigating the gay scene is a wild ride. I’m sure if you are in my boat as well, you have heard a lot of sideways remarks based on our ethnicity. 

Our bodies are not exotic - our bodies are beautiful
