thinking about basil hallward and his relationship with religion. the fact that he’s the only(?) explicitly religious character in the book. the way his reaction to the corrupted painting is so inherently tied to religion—he urges dorian to pray and repent. and yet. despite his religion. he so specifically uses the word “worship” about dorian ALL the time. he worships dorian. dorian was made to be worshipped. “i worshipped you too much. i am punished for it.” idk something something idolatry and false gods and religious guilt and homoerotic yearning and being on your knees to worship someone anyways i’m going fucking insane!!
[ID: Three images of the Sigmund Freud statue at Clark University with queer and immigrant activist information plastered all over it. A trans and queer flag are draped over its shoulders, with a list of violent prejudiced hate crimes extending from its book to the floor. On its chest, various news articles describing forced deportations are taped onto it, with the words “Am I Next?” painted atop them in red. Below its feet, a poster with the phrase “How many lives will HATE kill” is positioned. Next to it is a portrait of a trans person with top surgery scars, and various articles taped beneath them. End ID.]
today, this is how clark students decorated the statue in the center of campus. if this message isn’t heard, what will it take for them to listen?
Shout out to anyone involved in putting this together! A strong message that sadly becomes more and more relevant every day.
