Ode to their queer experiences, Assi is depicted lying down with a detailed map as the background. Each point on their body corresponds to significant geographical locations that have shaped their personal and queer identity. This visual metaphor, 'Mapping Queerness: My Body as a Queer Space,' transforms the artist's body into a living map, highlighting the intersections of place, memory, and identity. This work being both intimate and expansive, shaping how our environments and experiences are interwoven with self.
Mapping queerness: my body as a queer space is a full spread page from Color Zine Issue 02, a digital zine collaboration of Filipino LGBTQIA+ artists of Generation Z.
