Collection: CYSHIMI

Cyshimi is a Chinese and Taiwanese Brazilian artist based in São Paulo who explores issues of ancestry, identity, beauty, and body through nail art. Describing nails as "Performative Sculptures," Cyshimi challenges hegemonic beauty standards, injecting a dynamic essence into the traditional and polished notion of beauty. At the same time their nail sculptures are surreal, they are also about real identities and bodies reimagining the self. Their work shows how nails are a symbol of resistance and empowerment.
