Sasha December's (b. 1997) paintings explore the societal pressures she grappled with as a young girl, including femininity, popularity, self-fulfillment, and loneliness; all while embodying a sense of ownership over the past and a hopeful outlook towards the future. With settings that are callbacks to her childhood, she brings to life what she wants to see and feel, through places she’s both felt at peace and wishes she had had during times when she didn’t.
