Getting Obsessed

Getting Obsessed
Inspiring Creativity - Irving Penn Quote

Queer creativity often begins with obsession - the beautiful, unshakable pull to see more, feel more, be more. We’re drawn to details others might overlook - the curve of a gesture, the tension in silence, the joy in defiance. It’s not a curse - it’s a gift. When we look long enough, we uncover layers of meaning, beauty, and truth that demand to be captured and shared. That kind of focus is how queer joy takes shape - in art, in identity, in love. We don’t just observe the world - we reinterpret it, make it ours, and reflect it back with clarity, color, and wonder.
