Knuckle rings, blue-and-white patterns, porcelain, power statements, and killer nails are brought together to question how American culture is defined through the lenses of identity, race, and gender.

In the artist's words, "Basic, as slang is used, is defined as boring, not unique, and ultra-conformist to the point that they like what everyone else likes. Everyone loves/likes blue and white and has general knowledge of its origins in Asia (although some people think it comes from Europe, which leads to a conversation). It makes a basic person feel like they know culture. Just like the word "bitch" has been taken back by women and is a form of loving expression between women, "basic" has been proudly touted as an identity."
