two hands

“symbol of life” (2025)

for my birthday this year, a few friends and i went to wet paint pottery for a chill, creative night and i picked out this hand vase to paint.

i decided to paint this hand to look like my own hand and wrist [ocean wave tattoo and all] as a “symbol of life” to celebrate another year of being alive. i don’t typically wear red nail polish but i do wear the colour red a fair bit so i thought it was appropriate.

“activist” (2024)

i found this ceramic hand in a thrift store for a few dollars. it was definitely in rough shape and not a very nice colour——but the fist drew me in as some kind of symbol of activism and i immediately knew i wanted to upcycle it.

so i gave it a fresh paint job to look like the inclusive pride flag with the black base, brown stripes, and finished it off with a lot of dots in the pride and trans flag colours.
