A targeted-AR project created for the Queer Youth Art Collective's Erratica gallery tour. This piece appeared in galleries in Newcastle, London, Liverpool, and Glasgow throughout the summer of 2022. In it, I reflect on my frustrations with London's queer culture as I compare it to Bucharest, a city I visited for the second time in May 2022.
