"Love, whether it's platonic, romantic or even self-love, is such an intrinsic part of the human experience. So much of our joy and pain stems from love, and while I am very fortunate to have found mine, I cannot imagine what it is like to have my experiences denied or be told the love I have is wrong. Life can be painful enough and the world far too harsh, we should be given the grace to at least choose who we would like to go through it with. Regardless of gender, race and anything else, does it really matter? Love is love, to anyone who finds it." - Shavonne Wong

"The Kiss" not only represents the infinite possibilities of love in our world, it is also representative of a larger project, Shavonne's project "Love is Love".⁠
