Location: studying w christians at a cute cafe
Inspiration: the wilderness of pinterest and my friend’s tattoo goals
Idea: CYBERSIGILS brought into the 3D — not just on the skin or printed onto a sweatshirt anymore. maybe some message about technology escaping to have a huge, spiky impact on our physical lives. or maybe it just looks cool

ART

Location: scrolling the wilderness of pinterest
Inspiration:
Idea: painting series of women committing violence against fruits. fruits —> kitchen work/housework, something women are expected to do. rebelling against that, using very “unwomanly” violence in what should be a very “demure” act. silent resistance to patriarchy, protest while stuck participating in the system.
