Flash Art

"Dissolve" by Lindsay Liang

Lindsay Liang is a visual artist whose work investigates the quiet violence of systems—medical, emotional, and mechanical. Her practice draws from dream logic, anatomical language, and the sensory erosion of memory. Through painting, drawing, and mixed materials, she constructs fragile structures of containment: drained bodies, fused orifices, pressure points where function slips into failure. Influenced by post-utopian medical imagery and the aesthetics of rupture, Liang approaches the body not as subject but as site—of desire, deprivation, and collapse. Her recent work explores liquefaction as a condition of both survival and disappearance.

Fiction art

"I Reach for Her" by Brooke Walker

Brooke Walker is a queer disabled artist and poet from rural Pennsylvania. They love to photograph the natural world and its creatures. They combine these photos, often with images of themself, to create digital artworks that act as monuments of turning points along their life’s path. Some artworks embody hope, wisdom, and confidence, while others embody pain, rage, and numbness. Many attempt to harmonize the two lenses, to produce something honest and relieving. Brooke works as a mental health public speaker, sharing a message of self-acceptance, validation of people’s struggles, and finding belonging in community. You can find their work on Substack under brookeewalker, and Flickr under brooke-walker.
