Meet Me in Outer Space

“Meet Me in Outer Space” (2024): Inspired by Incubus’ Stellar, this piece features a nonbinary person with a beard and long, curly hair. They hold their hands in front of their face, with their arms bound together in shibari rope. The background is an ethereal blend of textures and glazes, with thick paint forming gel-printed circles in hues of blue, pink, gray, silver, black, and white. The abstract environment suggests a cosmic landscape, blending the personal with the otherworldly. By Nadia Vanilla, part of the Echotherea intimata series. © Nadia Vanilla 2024. All rights reserved.
