Erica, known online as Normality Is Toxic, shares their journey as a photographer and mixed media artist creating powerful work that examines feminism, mental health struggles, and personal identity through both analog and digital techniques.
• Creating the powerful self-portrait "Show No Mercy" to visually represent conquering personal mental health struggles
• Evolution from first Tezos mint "Not Your Meal" exploring female objectification to increasingly layered, complex work
• Finding artistic freedom and community support in Tezos versus feeling competitive pressure on Ethereum
• Solo traveling to Iceland and discovering how separation from consumerism transformed artistic perspective
• Organizing Reconquest projects bringing together women and femme artists to challenge toxic patriarchy
• Combining analog collage with digital elements to create multi-layered visual expressions
• Supporting other artists as a collector with over 800 pieces in personal collection
• Appreciating how the Tezos community stands up for each other and values authentic relationships over sales
