The Duality of Defiance and Compassion
Kindness is often dismissed as weakness. We live in a world where being loud, aggressive, and dominant is seen as power, while empathy and understanding are treated as vulnerabilities, which is absolute bullshit.
To me, kindness is an act of rebellion. It is choosing to care in a world that tries to desensitize us. It is refusing to look away from injustice, even when ignoring it would be easier. It is standing up, speaking out, and creating work that challenges the idea that kindness is passive.
My activist art is fueled by this defiance—the belief that softness does not mean surrender and that love, when wielded with intention, can be a force of radical change.
Why Kindness is Punk Rock
People hear the word “kindness” and think of something sweet, soft, and easily dismissed. But I see kindness as punk as hell. It is standing in direct opposition to cruelty, indifference, and apathy. It is choosing connection when division is easier. It is looking at a world filled with injustice and saying, No, I will not accept this. I will not let this be normal.
I have always been drawn to subversion—to the things that push against expectations. And in a culture that tells us to harden ourselves, that demands we pick a side between being “tough” or being “kind,” I choose both. Because why not? Why can’t I be fierce and full of love? Why can’t I create activist art that is both surreal and deeply human, both unsettling and hopeful?
My work is an extension of that belief. It is filled with contradictions—beautiful and strange, gentle and intense, dreamy and defiant. Because that’s who I am. And that’s what the world needs more of.
Art as Activism: A Weapon for Good
I create art that makes people feel something. That makes them pause, think, connect. Art is an amplifier of emotion, a visual language that speaks when words fail. And in a time where hate and division seem louder than ever, I want my work to be a counterbalance—something that says, You are seen. You are valued. You matter.
That doesn’t mean my work isn’t sharp-edged. It doesn’t mean it avoids discomfort. It means it leans into it. Sometimes kindness looks like a warm embrace, and sometimes it looks like holding up a mirror to the world and saying, This isn’t okay. Look at it. Feel it. Do something about it.
That’s the power of activist art—it makes people stop and look. It speaks to what’s real. It brings empathy back into focus and gives us a tool to resist the numbness. This is art as activism, and I believe in it deeply.
Creating in a Time of Resistance
Everything about my existence—my values, my work, my refusal to be silent—is an act of resistance. And I don’t create for those who want the world to stay the same. If my art offends those who stand against human rights, if it makes people who support cruelty uncomfortable, then good. Let them be uncomfortable. Let them squirm.
But for those who feel out of place, for those who have been told they are too much or not enough, for those who are tired of seeing the world trample over kindness and decency—I create for you. You are not alone.
And I will keep making activist art that reminds you of that.
The Future of Rebellious Kindness
This is only the beginning. The more the world leans into division, the more I will double down on radical love. The more hate is normalized, the more I will create work that reminds people what humanity actually looks like. Because kindness isn’t passive. It isn’t weak. It is bold, loud, and necessary.
And I intend to wield it like a weapon.
