This project formulates, in a way, a reflection onto my personal life and work as an artist. An ode to defying norms in cultures of oppression, through the lens of my own life. I have developed makeup into a new language. Using it to show the ugly side of things, as opposed to making things prettier, which makeup is originally intended for. The slogans on the posters form cries of desperation in reaction to my otherness that have been thrown at myself during my life. The portraits and scenes are detailed to a level where they convey many layers, through which they become multi-interpretable and relatable to a broad group, but always a critique on our current systemic and institutional normativity.

In collaboration with Tessa Ruger and Samuel Does.
