As an Aquarius themselves, the artist felt it right to celebrate their individuality and creativity through this second installment of the Creative Collab series - very aquarian of them… Aquarians often challenge norms and can be seen as contrarian, and their desire for independence and variety can lead to erratic vibes. An explosion of this devilish and vibrant red evokes danger and power. With chewed up cosmetics and distorted features, it’s embracing the beauty in the ugly, and warping the artist's own view of themselves. See more @mcpphoto.png on Instagram.

Proceeds of the prints from this collection are split equally between the artist and the organization or crowd-funding effort of the model's choice. McKenna has selected Tompkins Square Distro, a weekly community mutual aid distribution for migrant asylum seekers, unhoused neighbors & all in need at Tompkins Square Park.
