All of the people today featured in the zine are LGBTQ+, with the aim of delivering a utopian house for them to be who they certainly are without having stressing about how culture sees them:

For me it was a total procedure to recognize me and my community…. Remaining a photographer in Brazil has in no way been straightforward. When I commenced undertaking industrial work opportunities I had to adapt myself and I had to offer with some LGBTQ-phobic attitudes that finished up in depression. But it was not just the homophobia, I experienced to deal with criticism towards my method, my light-weight and also the models I wished to photograph. Once I heard from a pretty well-known publication that the styles I preferred were being ‘too gay’ for the magazine.”
