HIAO

I feel great power in the idea of self-grooming, self-gratifying, obsession, love and hatred.

I see HIAO-ness as my femme-ness trying to liberate itself from the violence it is subjected to, of the structures I try to navigate in my life.

HIAO is an opulent slinky type of weaving.

HIAO is obiang.

HIAO is my form of queer liberation.

The more I am HIAO the more I am cognitively aware of my material being, the un-meatspace-ness of it all.

HIAO is genderless.

You might be chio, but you might never be HIAO.
You might never be the image you imagined yourself to be.

HIAO infiltrates the visage of prettiness, to face the ugly reality of vanity that never dies, because beauty always does.

Beauty shifts and morphs along its flux, but HIAO might be the energy that you never knew you desired.

Beauty is futile,
HIAO is forever.
