Bort

Trans female,
she/her.

I’m a street and studio artist. My street work focuses on my imaginary friend (also named Bort). I figure if they’re up enough and in a lot of variation, then once being seen by a viewer multiple times Bort would become more animated. They could seem more alive and become that person’s imaginary friend as well. My studio work focuses on how much I want to die and my self-destructive tendencies.
