Love(r)ships is an ongoing project exploring connection and intimacy beyond sex. Centering touch as an anchoring into a world of Love, redefining connectivity between friends, family, and lovers.
Love(r)ships is inspired by the tribes of friends we build as queer people, where intimacy is often blurred and is not limited to sexual lovers and intends to normalize consensual physical touch as a love language of care, affirmation and safety.
