Rosary, September 2022

"Rosary" was taken in Trinity Church of Boston, MA. The double Venus (⚢) is representative of female homosexuality and it alludes to the religious cross symbol (in having similar shape). The double Venus necklace acts as a surrogate for the role of a religious rosary.

While rosaries are often artifacts of prayer in the Catholic faith, the double Venus necklace subverts expectations with its traditionally anti-Catholic values of homosexuality. Under it is an underlined bible verse stating, "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; It is an abomination." This is a notoriously anti-gay bible verse, which is juxtaposed with the empowering presence of the double Venus–my personal rosary.
