Her famous “My Bedroom to Yours”

For her 2015 exhibition, From My Bedroom to Yours, she reimagined her personal space as an alternative to her online presence. Her space combined Tumblr aesthetic, kitsch, and the internet’s confessional culture, to create “a sickly sweet aesthetic” and reclamation of what it means to be a female youth in the 21st century.

Her works focus on the negative effects of drugs

Her work also points to the need for parents and teachers to help their children learn about the negative effects of drug use, especially ecstasy. The drug can lead to a loss of inhibitions, transfixion of sights and sounds, nausea, blurred vision, chills and sweating, and more. It can even cause death.
