“Stasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

A painting featuring a four-armed spirit of nature tenderly 'helping' a greedy 'king' into the next life. She's holding a set of scales that drip blood. The man is lying on a forest floor littered with human skulls. It's all a very thinly veiled metaphor for a rich governing minority making careless, devastating decisions that affect all of us and have the potential to ruin our planet c: (I have been a little bit upset with the world, idk if that shows (°◡°)

A painterly illustration of a blonde-haired man embracing a dark brown-haired woman who looks like she's in a vampire frenzy. He looks at her wearing a worried expression, but she doesn't reciprocate, staring at the viewer, eyes glowing red. Book cover of "Learning to Bleed" by Cat Rector.

Left: A painterly portrait done in a muted, dreamy palette. The androgynous figure has long, blonde, curly hair that's pulled into a ponytail and is wearing a black coat with multicoloured fabric on the inside of the lapels.
Right: A painterly digital portrait of a couple set against a gold ochre background and surrounded by red and blue flowers. The woman's hair is dark blue and she is wearing an elegant black and navy dress with flowing sleeves. The man is blonde and he's wearing a grey-ish suit and white shirt underneath. They sit in a tender embrace, the man resting his head in the crook of the woman's neck.
