Nayan, 22, is from Tezpur, Assam, and is currently pursuing his Master’s degree in Assamese literature. He was inspired to paint this by an image he had once seen in a Youtube video.
Nayan describes himself as ‘proudly gay’, and first shared this work with other members of the Facebook group of Xukia, a queer collective in Assam.
