Auntieverse
Auntieverse is an evolving fictional universe where 'aunties' exist beyond stereotype: complex, humorous, powerful, and unapologetically themselves. Inspired by lived experience, memory, and the strong women who shaped everyday life, the project reimagines aunties in surreal environments that blend culture, imagination, and a healthy dose of chaos.
Each place within it, from AuntieCity to Auntlantis, JellyCity to the Moon, holds works that speak about beauty, architecture, language, social life, identity, ecology, the body, food, labour, and the glorious mundanity of everyday existence.
Auntieverse is an imaginary parallel universe filled with aunties living alongside fantastical creatures made of plastic and trash, a whimsical world where recurring characters like the Frog Assistant and Cat appear across images and video narratives. Here, aunties run wild with imagination, unbound by rules, regulations, or the typical laws of physics. It is an ever-expanding cosmos of cities, adventures, subplots, and environments that often mirror our real world, though with alternate endings and a much lighter touch.
What began as aunties meeting in an interstellar 'Club 33' to swap stories of their adventures has grown into narratives told directly from the aunties' point of view, spanning social dynamics, beauty, body image, environmental consciousness, fashion, food culture, and even esoteric territories like jellies, energy, and planetary alignment.
Auntieverse grows organically, fed by everyday life, history, pop culture, and current affairs. It holds the potential to be a forever project; anything from the real world can be magnified and transformed into something uplifting within its boundaries.
