It is a constant play between the unpredictable and intentional.
The original is in private collection, but a limited number of prints (total of 12) is available for purchase. Artworks are printed on high quality archival paper, numbered and signed.

Aesthetically pleasing symbols around her echo the notions of her manifested identity. This facade subconsciously contributes to continuing superficial values.
