Agape – Shaya Odin, Trevor James
Agape is a Greek word for a specific kind of universal, empathetic love.
In Shaya’s series of portraits, he features black men with halos – in contrast to the many images of white guys in halos that fill our churches. Through her art, Shaya shares a message about the sacredness of black men. And this is a cinematic interpretation of that same message – including a closing shot with lens flares that approach halos. Shaya and Trevor have sensual, connected sex that stands in stark contrast to the typical depiction of black men in pornography.
