this work focuses on contrasting visual languages: delicate lettering and fine linework reminiscent of “croquette” aesthetics, alongside more anatomical, retro, and pseudoscience diagrams. motifs like animals, bodies, and mathematics suggest balance, wellness, and order. these references are intentionally unsettled by rougher marks and visual disruptions, allowing intuition, contradiction, and emotion to surface.

femininity is presented as expansive rather than gentle alone, capable of frustration, anger, and intensity. by allowing softness and abrasion to coexist, the composition embraces a state of imbalance, where meaning emerges through contrast, friction, and emotional honesty.
