The complex geometry is created from a source image of the upper facade of the Oslo Courthouse which is located in the same square as the London Pub, a local gay bar, where the incident started to unravel.

The source image for Orlando 02 are the front doors of the Orlando Regional Medical Centre. I never change colours in any of my works, but I will super saturate them.

This is a tribute to those who lives were taken and the survivors of the Pulse Nightclub shooting.

This piece marks the changes in the education system after the homophobic attack on Ken Zeller, a teacher, who died from the incident.
