'Forbidden love' was inspired by a conversation with a close friend who lives as a gay man in London. He told me of his experiences in London of meeting men from other countries who carry a lot of shame, because where they are from it is still illegal or forbidden to be homosexual, to love freely. 

I wanted to create a beautiful moment between two people, however both the text within the piece and the title hint at the punitive stigma people are still experiencing.
