POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS
Inspired by Ursula from The Little Mermaid, this piece presents an intriguing dichotomy: a villainous character pointing out the environmental harm caused by human actions. The painting serves as a striking commentary on the climate crisis, specifically addressing ocean pollution, including the growing issues of trash and chemicals harming marine life.
PROTECT YOUR PEARL
Drawing inspiration from both The Little Mermaid’s Ariel and Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, this work explores themes of women's health, sexual autonomy, and the power of personal agency. The piece juxtaposes timeless mythology with contemporary concerns, featuring a modern mermaid seated upon a clamshell—an evocative symbol of the delicate balance between protecting one's personal well-being and empowering sexual health and decision-making.
Bold in its challenge to the societal taboos surrounding women’s health, the painting invites viewers to engage in complex conversations about sexual agency, reproductive rights, and body sovereignty. Rendered in soft pastels, the composition is both striking and subtle, with hidden details that invite deeper reflection.
