DDust does illustrations, collages, fine art and other things. While she has always painted, she quit her job as an international news translator due to temporarily unbearable agony. She had worked some jobs to earn a living. Before this, She studied literature.
In January 2024, after becoming jobless, she began the 'Jobless Selfies' self-portrait series, in which she draws self-portraits (almost) daily as a visual diary. This zine also includes written diaries from her employed days, along with other illustrations created while she started seeking a job again. Both the images and words reflect fear, desire, and society, portraying how she lives her days pacing around, seeking to resolve contradictions.
