Love is Love is Love

Artist: Ermira Murati (Orange Girl)
Location: Pristina, Kosovo
Photo Date: January 9, 2024

I turned a corner in Pristina and the whole side of a building stopped me; burnt orange, two faces pressed back to back, a single black heart tucked low where you'd almost miss it. I stood there longer than I meant to. Some walls don't let you keep walking.

This mural is the work of Ermira Murati, known as Orange Girl, a Kosovo artist whose work often challenges social norms and gives visibility to stories rarely seen in public spaces. Love is Love is Love was created in Pristina as part of a project exploring family, identity, and belonging through the experiences of members of Kosovo's LGBTQI+ community.
