Dysmorphia Illustration by KAYE
Hand-Embellished Archival Print

Originally created with charcoal and graphite, Dysmorphia portrays a young girl whose portrait is slowly overtaken by organic fungi forms. The mushrooms symbolize creeping insecurities—quiet, growing things that distort how we see ourselves. Her pupil-less eyes reflect a loss of clarity, unable to recognize her own beauty beneath the weight of self-doubt. This piece invites viewers to pause, reflect, and gently challenge the narratives we tell ourselves. Hand-embellished textures bring the artwork to life, adding depth and dimension to its emotional story.
