This illustration inspired by my friend is part of a limited-edition Pride 3-Juice Pack for Pressed Juicery. Each bottle label features a unique design by LGBTQ+ artists. Pressed partnered with PFLAG, to further their mission in in creating a more compassionate world for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies.

"[Tzasna's] work is a redefinition of narratives, portraying queer bodies experiencing joy and tenderness while shedding light on the beauty often overlooked by society.

With a foundation built on care and curiosity, their creations are deeply influenced by a profound appreciation for nature, a passion inherited from their grandfather. Beyond aesthetics, their label design for Pride Month serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggles faced by the LGBTQ+ community, fostering empathy and solidarity across diverse borders and cultures.

To fellow queer artists on their creative journey, Tzasná extends words of encouragement: prioritize your values, embrace mistakes, and trust in your unique perspective. For them, art isn't solely about creation, but also about how one perceives and interprets the world."
