"Pussy Portal" connects my earliest art style to where I am now. The soft outer layers fold into the cosmic chaos at the center—that's the portal, the transformation. Under blacklight the whole thing shifts into electric blues and purples. When our rights started disappearing, I went into freeze mode. Making art is the only thing that's ever gotten me unstuck. Creating this multilayered piece has been an intentional rebirth into someone who chooses what makes me happy instead of getting swallowed by everything that's happening. Art is how I move from paralysis to action, how I become.
