Saiyidah Kaiyisah (Jester)
Mischievous. Tells bad jokes. Mentally ill. With the power of delusion, hot glue and extremely big dreams, Jester creates works about pop culture and technology.
Whether it's intricate digital illustrations, wearable cosplays or vibrant paintings, each piece by Jester reflects a deep engagement with the fast-evolving worlds of fandom and technological trends.
Drawing inspiration from personal experience, Jester channels the energy of obsessive interests, using them as a means to craft new realities. This exploration of fixation is important to the creative process—transforming an intense focus on a subject into a fully realised piece of art.
