This was taken during a winter festival called Nights of fire presented by a French fire troupe called cie Carabosse in Toronto.

This young gay couple caught my eye because of their expressive body language, awkward giggles and flirty glances. There was something intriguing and captivating about them. It wasn’t so much the idea that they were homosexual but that they symbolized the idea of possibility, the ever illusive notion of love, a phenomenon that transgressed the nature of relationships, heterosexual and homosexual couples alike. Anyone who has ever been in love can identify with the feeling, the rawness of a relationship, the want and hope for it to progress and the dance that revolves around the circumstance of courtship.
