I use my collage, painting, digital technique, and all other random materials (like nail polish or wood stain) to communicate the feelings of hyperfeminism as a queer person. I aim to strike nostalgia in the hearts of AFAB people, and try to show femininity in a way that isn’t too serious. It’s ok to be silly, and it’s ok to be a girl, which is for some reason a very controversial statement.
