I participated in a group art show in Ohio called Phobias. My piece explored Zeusophobia, the fear of God, and drew from my experiences as a young, effeminate child in the church. I reflected on feeling like an outsider—constantly judged, restrained, and reprimanded for not fitting into the narrow expectations placed upon me. Looking back, I recognize that I was a sensitive, expansive soul trying to find a sense of belonging within a space that felt far too confining.
