Can you tell us about your journey as a visual
artist and how it led you to collaborate on the
“Bitter Moon” project?
My journey as a visual artist began at the age
of 13 when I first picked up a camera. Over the
years, I’ve explored various genres, and my work
has evolved into a focus on vegan nude, fetish,
and porn art. The emphasis in my art is on
self-determination, consent, and showcasing the
beauty of diversity.
The “Bitter Moon” project emerged from a desire
to push creative boundaries and explore the
intersection of art, fashion, technology, and ethics.
What inspired you to fuse fetishist fashion with
AI-generated imagery in “Bitter Moon”?
The fusion of fetish fashion and AI-generated
imagery in “Bitter Moon” was driven by a dual
commitment to avant-garde creativity and animal
rights. Embracing the potential of technology to
revolutionise art, I aimed to deliver a powerful
message – that in the modern era, we can create
visually stunning narratives without exploiting
animals and without violating animal rights.
The project underscores the principle that no
sentient being should be used without consent for
artistic endeavours or any other purpose. After
all, there is a clear connection between veganism
and my nude, fetish, and porn art; we should not
violate the fundamental rights of other animals
and use them as objects or treat them as our
property without their consent just so that we can
have leather whips, whipped cream, or even real
animals on set.
It’s just not right.
When we understand the concept of consent, we
also have to think about the animals and how they
are not able to consent to any of that at all. The
fusion in “Bitter Moon” is a testament to
avant-garde art with ethical integrity.
In “Bitter Moon,” snakes are utilized as symbols
of danger and desire. Can you elaborate on the
significance of this motif?
Snakes represent the allure of the forbidden, the
sensuality that comes with an element of risk.
Snakes are archetypal symbols in many cultures,
often associated with transformation and hidden
knowledge.
In “Bitter Moon,” they become a visual metaphor
for the complex interplay between danger and
desire, akin to the risks one might seek in delving
into a tarot session.
