"Love comes in all forms and colours"
I was commissioned by the director Lucie Liu to paint an artwork for the documentary, Taipeilove* - an intimate portrayal of Taiwan's unique journey towards same-sex marriage and equality. The selected artists expressed their support of LGBT equality using various styles of art, showcased on multiple social media platforms. Taiwan has become the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage and implement equal rights for same-sex couples into it's civil code. This documentary is a testimony that shows how history is currently being written in Taiwanese society and Lucie Liu is the first European filmmaker to be tackling that topic.
