Symbolism & Representation

Ru- RuPaul

RuPaul has transformed the representation of LGBTQ+ relationships in the media.
A pioneer of queer representation and the first drag artist to host their own national talk show, RuPaul has made great strides for the LGBTQ+ community. He has secured global exposure for up-and-coming drag queens and uses his platform to discuss important topics, like female empowerment and racial discrimination. For his efforts, RuPaul was awarded the Vito Russo Award at the GLADD Media Awards in 1999.

Rainbow -representing inclusivity and diversity, an all-embracing image of love and friendship.

Over the past 40-plus years, the rainbow has become a symbol representing the LGBTQ+ community and its fight for equal rights and acceptance across the globe. It's also a celebration of beauty and diversity.

”Pride is being proud of who you are. It's about not worrying what others will think of you or being discriminated against based on your race, nationality, religion, or sexual orientation. Pride means acceptance and authenticity of self.” -unknown

I create these beautiful Birch Wood Earrings from start to finish. I start the process by drawing each individual piece on my iPad to form a SVG file. After I’ve created the file I cut each piece out of Birch Wood using my at home laser cutter. Once the pieces are cut, I hand paint and stain them. This collection took me 2 full months to complete. The Anastasia Collection symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings.
