"Pink for girls." Branded 'pink' even before I was born.
A simple colour; a marketing strategy, turned into the cloud that is now a gendered existence. A cloud you placed over my head. A cloud that has followed me thus far.
"Think" (but not too much because nature already has a course for you) "Stay silent, don't talk back" (but look pretty while you're at it, please)
I blame "pink".
Exploring the obscurities of self-awareness, the artist says:
"My mind is supposed to be my home but recently, it has not felt that way. ‘AM I HOME?’ is how I’ve decided to document the ways in which this alienation manifests. It is a collection of 12 digital paintings which revolve around the same bored, exhausted, cynical, straight-faced girl that gets to sit in my head and make comments while I experience all the things—good and bad—outside my head.
In the moments when I’ve shut people out while trying to preserve my sanity, or when I’ve over-internalised the opinions of others, or when I’ve gotten too attached to my decisions, or when I’ve felt so optimistic then began to doubt my good fortune, or when I’ve simply tried to rest and recharge...
...she’s there, watching, waiting and asking when I’ll come back home.
Enough about me. Are YOU home?"
