I've read a 1912 compendium of criminal case studies featuring peasant girls and women from all corners of former Russian Empire as perpetrators, and I couldn't shake the thought of all those 16, 17, 18 year olds driven to killing themselves, their unwanted children, their husbands two or three times them older who were essentially r*ping them for years. Hence the little mermaid - a Slavic edition (in Slavic folklore, mermaids are a type of the undead). All violence starts with domestic and gender-based violence.

"Chaotic Femme"
Mixed media collage, 2022.
"Untitled #1"
Recycled collage, 2021. A 2nd gen collage from a piece called "I Don't Know How To Be A Woman" I made for one of my old zines.
