Welcome to my portfolio webpage, where I present a sticker project celebrating LGBTQ+ identity and inclusivity through dual lenses. In collaboration with the Make-it Program, I proudly introduce the Mushroom Pride stickers— a collaborative endeavour embodying unity within the LGBTQ+ community. Alongside this discover the deeply personal "Gay Pill" sticker as an act of defiance, a way to boldly assert my identity in the face of adversity.

In a world where LGBTQ+ representation remains an ongoing journey, both the Mushroom Pride and "Gay Pill" stickers carry a twofold significance. Beyond their visual artistry, they serve as vehicles of empowerment, empathy, and optimism for a more inclusive tomorrow. Through my art, I open a window into my personal experiences, celebrate the richness of diversity, and lay the foundation for meaningful dialogues about identity and acceptance.
🍄 Pride Mushrooms 🍄
As someone who proudly identifies as both demisexual and bisexual, my journey has been a voyage of self-discovery. Seeing the lack of demisexual representation within the LGBTQ+ spectrum, I partnered with Make-it Program to create Mushroom Pride stickers. These stickers are vibrant symbols of inclusivity, reflecting love and acceptance. I've also collaborated on projects like the Healing Mural and a pride month sticker collection. Through my work, I prioritize mental health, aiming to provide a safe space for self-expression and spread a message of love and acceptance.
🌈 Gay Pill 💊
Running parallel to this collaborative endeavour is a deeply personal project that sparked the creation of the "gay pill" sticker. Raised in a strict, traditional religious family, I conceived the "gay pill" sticker as an act of defiance—a bold proclamation of my identity in the face of challenges. This sticker encapsulates the rejection of shame and the embrace of self-acceptance. To me, the "gay pill" represents more than just a sticker; it's a potent declaration that mental well-being and personal pride are intertwined. It stands as a remarkable symbol, reminding us that embracing our true selves is a source of strength, not shame.
