MONK is a multimedia artist, who just released her sophomore album Fabric. Adapting a creative arsenal including lyricism, production (both musical and visual), as well as songwriting, her art focuses on the journey of self-discovery and the practice of queer subsistence in our modern archetypical landscape. The task of examining the privilege to question traditional narratives while embracing fluidity can be thought of as the relative thesis that ties MONK's work together, highlighting the generational gaps and the colonial implications that a second generation immigrant grapples with as they come to find who they are.
