body endless/hurting: Illustration + Typography

“body endless”

The first time I have made digital art about myself. Ever since January 2020, I've been trying to gain more agency in my life and to feel alive. It’s definitely been a ride, and I’m still learning so much. this piece is about my body / embodiment in relation to my ongoing journey with physical & mental health. I am still realizing the infinite ways the white cisheteropatriarchy, war, and capitalism has hurt me.


This is a message to myself that: I am not limited. My DISABLED body contains the whole universe of possibilities. You cannot separate parts of me. You must see me all parts of me, fully, in order to see me at all. Thank you to my loved ones, to those that fought for and created this knowledge for me to SURVIVE.

“hurting”

i have been in a state of constant confusion, anger, sadness, hurt, and numbness, even before the protests. i wanted to show everyone this piece of art because i want to share more of my world.

the blue text says “I am hurtin”, the sideways text in việt means “I must not/cannot sit still”, and the bottom text means “yell!”. the characters on the upper-right is my full name.

i have been kind of absent on social media and other places, too. i want to take some time to rest because i have been dealing with some personal things as well as a lot. of. anxiety.
