The House of Hidden Meanings is a profound introspection of his life, relationships, and identity, presenting a self-portrait of the iconic figure on his journey to global fame and reshaping how the world views drag. “I’ve always enjoyed looking at the world through an analytical lens, exploring what lies beneath the surface.
