In her words, the artist says that “mixing together elements of 90’s shōjo manga, sci-fi scenarios, contemporary fashion and Asian folklore, I create worlds filled with conflicted and melancholy characters.” The artist’s palettes, in particular, appear to take inspiration from that first element, in both playful and striking hues.
