The protagonist of my work is Mary, not portrayed in its religious significance, but in its historical figure of mother. I've chosen her as a symbol of immense love, who was only able to accept, protect and support every individual without reservations or distinctions.With only one gesture, Mary does not only tighten Jesus but at the same time she hugs the entire humanity represented by the earth sphere that sh keeps in her hands. In particular, her gaze is not only directed to her son but also to all those sons that live the homosexual condition, represented here by the masculine and feminine gay symbols, which the same Jesus gives to Mary.I've reproposed the same symbols in the heraldry above her to strengthen the link between Mary and her homosexual children; these symbols are accompanied by the colours of the gay flag and two pairs of bouquet. Precisely those flowers want to communicate a special message from double value: on one hand can defer the happiness of gay union, on the other one they want to remember the death of all homosexuals unfairly and tragically disappeared.I'm referring to all deaths historically documented but which remained forgotten for too long; deaths occurred in particular durig the nazism and caused by discrimation, fear of gender differences and the lack of awareness the "Homosexuality" is a condition, and not a choice.For too long, the society has ignored who were the "pink triangles" and it seems that even the gay community has forgotten them. With this work I want instead to awaken the memory awake the memory of those sufferings and awake the conscience of all to the possibility of entrusting this to remind the protagonist of my painting.
