Control Conviction and Self-Inflicted Fiction

I am a 21 year old non-binary, queer artist. I grew up in an alt-right Evangelical Christian environment until the end of 2020, when I transferred to FSU. I had been in Christian education and college up until that point. My art style is inspired by my identity dysregulation and dysphoria. I feel so detached from my body, and feel more alien than human. The alien creatures in my art reflect that. They feel more myself than my physical form.

My writing is inspired by my life experiences. There are themes of love, loss, mental illness (depression and bipolar, specifically) and religious trauma. This collection of work tells a story of learning how to be human again- when I had become a resentful bitter wench.

This is not a perfect piece, but it holds so much of my heart. I think a lot of people will find comfort and hope whilst reading it.
