Vanity | Acrylic, encaustic, gesso, and ink on canvas displayed on painted plexiglass | 48” x 60”

Striking red lips drip with fleeting allure, contrasting a central flower’s natural elegance against a backdrop of scrawled text like “DESIRE,” “PROPAGANDA,” and “Vanity Algorithm.” “SYSTEMIC,” “INSECURITY,” and “DISTORTED REALITY” critique cultural pressures, while “Wabi Sabi Sets You Free” and “AND THEN YOU REALIZE THAT NONE OF THIS MATTERS” inspire authenticity, balancing raw emotion with compassionate insight.
