When people state that they are exceedingly impressed with MLMA's body of artistic work, they actually are referring to her physique as the home of creative prosperity. The Seoul-native rapper and visual artist has been dazzling art and fashion communities with her boldly satirical and [feminist takes on societal expectations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren). One of her more popular posts depicts her with a purple paint-smeared face and a handful of grapes. Another one of her grand appearances was in the [Surreal Gucci Fall 2018 runway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks), where she strutted the catwalk with flowery cheeks and her own head in her hands.

MLMA's body of artistic work definitely navigates the thin line between dangerously gorgeous and uncomfortably grotesque.
