IDENTITY MALFUNCTION

BY ZINEB ALLAOUI | @ZINEBALLAOUI

"These are not just lines, these are my emotions.
Imagining a fictional world in my biological reality.
I am not desiring it, I am just observing and painting the confusion away.
But are you a boy or a girl?
This question brings me back to reality.
I am challenging my patriarchy with black paint on a white canvas
Naturally creating characters with no gender.
Does it have to do with my lack of femininity or the need for more masculinity?
Trying my best not to fall into the trap of having to choose between two things that equally make me who I am."
