“My name is Tiia. I am half Chinese and half white (mostly Irish). The fantasy genre is the one that has always called to me, but I never felt like I could really embrace it. This is because being mixed means you are always too much and not enough when it comes to cultural identity. Then, a couple years ago, I decided to change that and have been actively pursuing and creating art in that space. This includes acting, dance, and modeling. For these photos, I collaborated with a friend of mine, Nikki, whom I’ve worked with before. The initial inspiration was magic in and of itself. It is a universal concept across every culture and human-populated continent. Once we started working, the ideas moved on to my love of the night sky and being a goddess of the night. I have said that I want to be the embodiment of a summer night: warm, inviting, and bathed in moonlight.”
