Us

Us portrays two women held in a moment of quiet intimacy, their bodies gently intertwined as they sit together on a crescent moon. The simplified forms emphasize closeness over detail, allowing tenderness, trust, and emotional connection to take center stage.

Above them, a cluster of suspended, eye-like shapes fills the sky—an unsettling reminder of the ever-present societal gaze. These forms suggest surveillance and judgment, intruding even upon private moments of love. In contrast, the moon becomes a symbolic refuge, evoking night as a space of secrecy, safety, and possibility.

Magare’s composition balances vulnerability and resilience, capturing the tension between intimacy and exposure. Us becomes a reflection on queer love lived under observation, and the quiet strength found in choosing connection despite it.
