The artist, who is also Indian and currently lives in Los Angeles, shared the work on Facebook. It's called "Coming Out".

Through a metaphor, he presents two women coming out of the closet (as if it were physical) and experiencing sexuality freely. Until several lesbophobes arrive (representing society), repudiate their affection, take them back to the closet and burn them.

"We, in India, are a democracy and I feel like the idea is that you can express yourself freely. But that's not what happens in reality. So I felt the need to talk about it", explained the artist when approaching the topic in a strong and touching.
