Shawna X is not one to shy from making a statement. An independent artist, she\u2019s known for her eye-popping images that are created across mediums in digital, spatial, and motion spaces. Her projects tend to revolve around loaded subjects like cultural identity, the modern creative process, and analytical commentaries on social stereotypes. \n\n\n\n
\u201cI mostly enjoy the pre-project,\u201d she said in an interview with\u00a0The Creative Independent. Her pre-project state includes: \u201cgoing into nature, listening to music, reading graphic novels, going to shows or otherwise distracting my mind so it\u2019s completely void of work and just focused on simple pleasures.” According to her, it’s vital that you have a space for yourself to rejuvenate before you dive into any project, as chances are, you\u2019re exerting your creative energy, and also your emotional energy for whatever work you will be doing.\n\n\n\n
