fai 郟 is a lifelong, self-taught visual artist (hobbyist) in pittsburgh, pa. their art is strongly informed by their identities as a queer, nonbinary, neurodivergent việt adoptee. they are also inspired by psychedelic counterculture art of the 60s, classic works of impressionism and surrealism, and retrofuturism (think vintage sci-fi book covers). they hope to convey themes of identity, dissociation, existentialism, marginalization, and leftist politics — but most of all, they just want to make stuff that looks cool.
