Hello.

I am a young, queer conceptual artist from London

My art mostly explores mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts and body dysmorphia. If you’ve experienced any of these mental health challenges, you’re not alone and it’s OK not to be OK.

I am proud to support charities that tackle domest

I am proud to support charities that tackle domestic violence and I’m proud to be a @officiallovebracelets ambassador. They are a great charity that will give you 35% OFF with the code “alixdebretagne” for anything in their shop. Having said that, if you can afford it and want to support this great charity, I would pay full price. These bracelets are amazing and they remind me everyday that the fight has to carry on in order to support victims of domestic violence.

Domestic violence is affecting all of us, queer or not, and we all have a duty to raise awareness and help those who need our help.

We all go through pain: it’s part of life. Some more than others, and we can all agree it takes courage to walk through pain and move through it. When looking at someone in pain, it’s very important not to judge their pain but to listen and try to understand the challenges they are facing.

In spite of people being divided on the topic, shaming people because of their size will NEVER help them change. Shame does only one thing: it creates mental illness. As much as we all have our opinions on what works and what doesn’t when it comes to motivating people to eat better, we can not deny the fact that a vast majority of us are overweight due to social challenges, such as poverty. It’s not necessarily because you can’t afford healthy food, although many can’t, it’s also to do with the mental health challenges that come with poverty, and the lack of ability to move pass them.

Commenting on someone’s body size is damaging when it becomes a shaming exercise. Saying someone is “too fat” or “too thin” nurtures the idea of “not enough”. Of course it’s ok to give a compliment, but bare in mind that unless someone asks directly for your opinion, it is not required.

Growing up, I was an overweight kid. I wasn’t ob

Growing up, I was an overweight kid. I wasn’t obese but many people, including doctors, told me I was. When I started high school and figured out two espressos and a pack of cigarettes keeps the fat away, I immediately started loosing weight as I hardly eat. I’ve been starving myself since and surprisingly, nobody thought that was an issue. Last year, when I visited my family, most of the conversation was mostly around the fact that I had gained weight. So you see, the issue never goes away because the people around me constantly remind me that I’m fat, under the labels of “I’m just being honest” and “I’m looking after you”. If someone is overweight, it’s not your job to tackle this - most feel comfortable as they are. We need to break the chain of fat shaming and accept people as they are, because your comments about size are hurtful, and they often cause eating disorders.

Feeling down cause COVID-19 and the quarantine mad

Feeling down cause COVID-19 and the quarantine made you put on some extra pounds? We are all feeling this. But we are feeling it because there are heaps of corporations ready to sell us the next diet! It’s not an original thought we all magically conjured, it’s created by society and some INSANE expectations. Every body is a beach body and all of us are worthy and deserving of love and belonging.

“The Stuff Of Nightmares” (2019) - a contempla

“The Stuff Of Nightmares” (2019) - a contemplation on my own body dysmorphia and personal struggles with my body image. This art piece is incredibly profound for me as it is a physical manifestation of one specific thought I have about myself all the time. It’s so prominent in our society and it has to stop. Weight stigma is a form of abuse.

Body shaming is no joke, weather it comes from oth

Body shaming is no joke, weather it comes from others or from ourselves. It is just as bad as any other form of abuse. We seem to be very much unaware of just how mean we can actually be - so today, take a moment and do as you preach: be kind. And also, we need to talk about it more, which is what I’ll be doing in the next posts - let’s talk, share and heal together 🙏
