Description

‘Hanahaki’ by Kelly Sux

About the Artwork:

A woman is overtaken by flowers in the process of decay, with remnants of petals still falling from her lips. “Hanahaki” is a fictional disease in which the victim coughs up flower petals when they suffer from one-sided love. It ends when the beloved returns their feelings (romantic love only; strong friendship is not enough), or when the victim dies.

(Artist Bio)

Kelly is from South Carolina and graduated with a BFA in Fine Art from College of Charleston in 2016. She is now a tattoo artist and fine artist working in LA. Her genre of art style comes from the Japanese term “ero-guro”, a Japanese literary and artistic movement of the 1920s and 1930s, focusing on eroticism, sexual corruption and decadence. Her work focuses on her experiences with adolescence, battles with mental illness, empowerment of feminine bodies, and Asian-American diaspora.
