About

~
Strawberries are not a fruit, yet they sit in the fruit bowl, seeds boldly on the outside,  hidden in plain sight until someone notices. Neurodivergent people are the strawberries in the fruit bowl. I seek to create a land of Goddesses, Saints, Mythical Creatures, and Protagonists that lack perfection that contain multitudes and diversities, just like the neurodivergent communities that cannot be labelled as a monolith. 

What began as a journey to understand my own neurodivegrence and why I felt so detatched from reality became the start of creating a world where it wouldn't matter with characters who wouldn't care. They cannot judge or insult because they are symbols and representations. In a world of bizzare creatures and things, I became the most normal thing and thus saught out authenticity. I allowed myself to be consumed by fantasy and whimsy and then take that magic into the real world with me. I wanted to assimilate with a natural oddity and wear it as an armour of the strange.
