This artwork speaks about stereotypes and everyday scenarios coming together. I take my inspiration from the sentiments of those put into the conventional way of living and express their grief amidst a positive air.
 
I illustrate different people in acrylics showing sentiments like distress alongside symbolic signs for strength and peace, to balance out the brutality of life. I use the rainbow colors repeatedly as it defines the beauty of the community comes together to fight for their rights.
 
There are plenty of stereotypes in the world. The most common stereotypes being the "women stereotype” and the “gay stereotype”. With this artwork, I show how ironic it is that one stereotype (gay) helps break another stereotype (women). An iron portrays a usual household chore of ironing clothes: a role set typically for Indian housewives. This stereotype set for women is broken by the gay stereotype of being feminine when partners work together to do both “manly” and “womanly” jobs.
 
The painting stands on a standard coal iron. The iron is a showpiece and is not usable.
