Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light.

“Tragedy is the most ridiculous thing.”

Frida Kahlo

Mexican artist Frida Kahlo is remembered for her self-portraits, pain and passion and bold, vibrant colours.

Her work has been widely praised for being deeply personal and for showing an insight into the female experience. 

She has also been praised for capturing her natural unibrow and other facial hair which speaks to many about body-positivity.

Based on my admiration for Frida Kahlo and the quirky way she has been depicted in paintings and street art, I have designed a collage of graffiti art of her, as shown below.

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.”
