(Mermaid deer mask painting): Don’t look at my mystical mermaid deer winged body. I’m totally a regular norm-core human, that masks real good. An A4 painting on thin plywood. A night-sky landscape of a black background with white specks of different sizes. In the bottom right half of the painting are two mythical looking creatures who appear to be the same species. They have light green mermaid tails on their bottom halves. Their top halves of deer torsos, front legs and faces are pink and red. On their backs are light blue feathery wings. They are facing one another. The one on the left has a raised right leg, a sense of purposeful movement towards the other. The one on the right has its body facing away, with its neck turned to face its companion. On its face sits a cream coloured mask the shape of a human face.
