Pain & Pleasure
In my artwork, I delve into the exploration of masochism within the realms of BDSM and self-masochism, as well as the interplay between pain and pleasure. Through vibrant neon colors, glitter, and collage elements, I aim to juxtapose these ideas visually compellingly. I navigate the theme of masochism with a deliberate and nuanced approach, depicting controlled harm that is distinctly not self-inflicted. Within this exploration, the experience of pain takes on a unique character, transforming into a manifestation of adoration rather than suffering.Bio
