Sara’s practice explores topics such as identity, mental health, queerness, body-image, existentialism, and feminism.

A subversive yet witty approach to serious themes is continuous to Sara’s style of work in illustration; aiming to create a safe space that is both light-hearted and approachable for the work to stimulate open conversations in everyday life.
