I was inspired by the Y2K aesthetic, also known as McBling.
This features candy pastel colours, digital influences, popular culture references, diamante/bling from the early 2000s. It is kitsch and tacky and is hyper-feminine. This is ironic, especially due to my subject matter. The sickly sweet aesthetic mixed with a sweary, exasperated phrase like 'For Fuck's Sake' is total contradiction and contrast. I love to explore duality, such as in my last project, between mental health and highly polished, feminine aesthetics.
