Banana Tiama 2.0

In its concrete version, Banana Tiama doesn’t give up its festive nature, but takes on a solid, weighty presence. The queer fruit claims space, gaining weight and persistence.

Concrete — a material of both foundation and detention — evokes construction and constraint at once. It is urban body, public matter, mass that resists.

This brutalist version of the queer banana preserves its playful soul, but inscribes its form into time. It becomes a monument to difference, a visual weight against the lightness of hate.
