Zearo’s work takes on an autobiographical perspective to explore the relationship and entanglement between same-sex figures. Influenced by his South-East Asian background, he centres on lived experience by exploring ideas of longing, desire, memory, male gaze, masculinity and Southeast Asian aesthetic through the medium of pastels and pigments. Through this direction, he attempts to create a space where same-sex stories are visible and approachable, transforming into a place where tension of care and secrecy is being represented.
