Fruity

Stephanie Christo

Image Description: This print features the word "FRUITY" repeated multiple times in bold, retro-style letters, each in a different bright color, creating a playful and vibrant look. Between the letters, there are illustrations of colorful fruits: a yellow banana, an orange, and two red cherries with stems. The background is a soft, pastel blue that makes the colors pop. The overall feel of the print is fun and energetic, celebrating diversity and individuality.

Artist Statement: "Fruity" is a joyful celebration of 2SLGBTQIA+ identity and pride. Through bright colors, playful fruit symbols, and retro-inspired lettering, this piece embraces the vibrancy and diversity of the queer community. It reclaims "fruity" as a positive expression of self-love, freedom, and individuality. This artwork is about living openly, boldly, and unapologetically—reminding us all to celebrate the beauty of being true to ourselves.
