I made a collage for Nex. Though I didn't know them personally, their death hits especially hard as a non-binary person living in Oklahoma and a fellow choctaw. It especially hits close to home knowing that could be me and in a lot of ways I was nex. I was the young trans autistic person being bullied in my high-school years for existing as who I am. I was pushed to the point of thoughts of death multiple times due to how bad the bullying had gotten. Nobody deserves this. Nobody deserves to be bullied and hurt for existing as who they are. This hurts me . It hurts our community. This can not continue on. There have been too many young people who are bullied and hurt for being lgbtq and it is heartbreaking. My heart and condolences go out to the family and all who are struggling with grief from the loss of their wonderful soul. May all the family and loved ones and those who are hurt by their death be comforted and supported during this time by the community that stands together and fights together. I'm here, and I'm queer and I love you all. Please know you are never alone and there is always help and support if you just reach out and ask. it can be scary but may very well be the best thing you could do for yourself and you deserve the help and support if you need it. My inbox is open if anyone needs to talk.

I made this collage so I could do a meet the artist sort of thing. A little bit about me, my name is Willow. I am a pagen native american witch. I am weird and awesome. I like Dr who, bunnys,cows. I use tarot and oracle cards. I am non-binary and queer. I like to make all sorts of different styles of art. I love writing poetry. I am also autistic, adhd, chronically disabled and mentally ill. Does that define what im cabaple of ? No, but it does tell me that I have to reach my goals a way other than the norm, and that's fine by me. I never want to be normal. I have my faults as we all do. I have had lots of trauma that led me to traumatized and hurt others in my life that I care about, but I have been working towards healing every day towards towards cultivating healthy and meaningful relationships. I have lots of things I need to work on still, and I'm doing the work I need to grow and blossom into an even more beautiful willow tree. I hope you'll join me on this journey of self-discovery .

I'd love to know what others get from my art

The idea I had was that the red girl is in a prison. But she is saving her life escaping into the beauty and finding her true north.

To sum up what I wrote in the found words is this idea of Saving yourself from the prisons that try to swallow you and allow the change that is around you to help you to envision where you want to go. Know the things that keep you stuck and imprisoned and grow around them to become the beauty that you are.
