The series is also a critique, both of homophobia within the Caribbean community, and racialised attitudes against the former colonies and the Caribbean islands in the Netherlands.⁠ ⁠ Born in Curaçao, @dustinthierry centres his practice on the Afro-Caribbean diaspora in the Netherlands, where he moved at the age of 14. For the artist, Opulence is acutely personal. It was conceived following the suicide of the artist’s younger brother, a young polysexual man who had aspirations of escaping homophobia in Curaçao and following his brother to Europe. The series is an imagining of what Thierry’s brother would have witnessed and experienced should he have made it to Europe, and a poignant exploration of race, sexuality and gender. ⁠ ⁠ Read more at wallpaper.com, via link in bio. ⁠ ⁠ Pictured, Opulence, Ritchy Princess of the House of LaDurée at the ’On The Cover of Vogue’ Ball under direction by Zueira Mizrahi.
