Inspired by the books'Maurice' and ‘Swimming in the Dark’, this collection captures the resilience of queer love hidden, whispered, imagined. It reflects secret glances, coded letters, and fleeting yet unforgettable moments. In times when same-gender love was forbidden, these glimpses became cherished memories. Rooted in history or fantasy, this collection honors those who loved in silence and those who dared to dream beyond their time.
