Patos










Through this project I attempt to open a dialogue to talk about homophobia. I show this social inequality by exaggerating reality with irony and humor.

In my home country Venezuela, “Pato” (duck) is used as an anti-gay slur or derogatory term against homosexual males. It is an insult along with others used to diminish, harass and violate homosexuals verbally.
