I'm Zee, an artist from California working under the pseudonym Goblin.Shawty.
My work centers around rituals, symbols, and text as a means of examining feelings of yearning—both romantic and nostalgic—as well as femininity and mysticism.
Votive objects, worship rituals, and religious elements are recurring motifs in my art.
Ultimately, I seek to uncover the unknown, driven by my desire to understand those around me and the universe at large.
"Relationships as Ritual: The Art of Devotion" is an exhibition that explores romantic relationships as deeply personal acts of devotion, akin to religious practice. Through three key elements—altars, relics, and ornamentation—it invites viewers to reflect on the intimate rituals that shape their connections to love, identity, and spirituality.
"Untitled Film Project" is a project in which I intersperse interviews with documentary footage of my life creating an audio-visual collage. The goal is to capture and illustrate more introspective conversations I have from time to time, unprompted, with friends and capture their ideas on the world and things as they are—and how I transmute that and add it into my own personal understanding of things.
