uncool [collection]
acrylic on canvas or paper
a collection of words i wrote and visual ideas based on the idea of being ‘uncool.’ in this context, uncool is about embracing your most authentic self——even if it seems uncool to someone else or by societal standards or a little too different in a less than palatable way.
the truth? it is only when we are our most true selves that we are actually cool.

“uncool”
acrylic on upcycled canvas
____ inches
this piece symbolizes a deep love for life and humanity by… exploring thoughts and feelings of death from an uncomfortably rational perspective. if we’re alive why don’t we feel like it? we go through the motions every day, we save for a future we may not see, and we long for the adventures that remind us we are, in fact, alive. if we live to feel alive as much as we can, death is not a thing to fear but merely inevitable.
would you rather live for five more years of feeling the most alive or fifty more years of feeling as if you’re already dead? it’s always good to make every day count, somehow.
and no, it’s not about having no bad days [we’re always gonna have better or worse days]; it’s just about making all our days be something acceptable as our final day… because we never know which day might be that final day.

feminism inspired by the wondering why and how misogyny exists; why women are still often seen as less.
even in two opposing spiritual standpoints, there’s still one common ground: eve and hera are the mothers of all and without women, none of us would exist.
