They framed you up Sister. Freed you up Sister. I stole a feather from your wing before Zephyr, the messenger of Spring softly blew a west wind that carried you away. I framed it up Sister. And I keep it very close to my heart, like a sacred shard from your wandering soul. May you find your true self exploring the wild lands. - #teenagers in #love #NHOPE #fanzine #instagay #queer #halfboy #fashion #noframe #noshape #butterfly #alexandermcqueen #jadoredior

They locked you up Brother. Tied you up Brother. Which room of which tower of which block Brother? Why is your girlfriend crying on the phone? Who are those armed men stationed at every door, every window ? We can hear the sound of plastic melting off the bottle they pour on your face like a shame on you. The weights hitting te back of your head to make you sing when you don't know how to whisper anymore. And you think about Mama and the pain and the distress. When was the last time you told her how much you loved, how much you cared. Their hands are bigger than yours. Yet you've got the love. Fury at its greatest. Fury that would clear your way back home. You locked yourself up Brother. Tied yourself up Brother. It may be the first time in your life that you are terrified. But you're a cool kid Brother. A young thug Brother. And hope shall not burn along the cars you once drove. Styling by me. Photograph from 'The Mother of Butterflies, The Young Thug and The Flower Boi' shot for NHOPE Zine.

Back home, shithole of a town in South of France, The Flower Boi convinced his Mother and his Brother to climb the hill where stands Notre Dame des Anges, the tiny little chapel that watches over the quiet valley. During the steep journey, they stepped over a snake and they saw a bright green lizard. Hope. Mary was staring at them as they were dressing up, ready to enter a world made of stories never told. Because the Flower Boi is no artist. He tells stories. And he will continue to do so until you listen. #talkituplikeyeah

The Flower Boi fantasises. Observes and absorbs. Slowly shapes a world he could fit in. A world where everybody could fit in. From what he recalls, and before he even knew it, the Flower Boi was a faggot. His schoolmates would chant it casually every single day. All chanted what pride was once just another hurtful truth. And all of them somehow contributed to build this wonderland where it's no more about beliefs and causes to stand for, but precisely about existing as yourself in your own shared reality. And my reality is a fab disco house party where grieving witches, dancing prom queens and god-like dressed freaks celebrate the glittered nights gracefully united. Come along and bring your plus one.
