ODD JADE has found her voice, a way and a means on how to navigate through life creatively whilst emphasising love, kindness and joy.
In a world overwhelmed by digitally curated perfection and societal expectations, there is one creative force that dares to be different, namely ODD JADE. She stands apart from the noise, carving out a space where her core values, inner rhythm, and authenticity guide every step of her journey.
ODD JADE’s artistic journey is rooted in truthicity, not just the act of creating art, but using her senses, body, and being as a medium through which everything flows into her, not from her. This difference is key to her process, touching not only her heart but reaching the deepest parts of her soul.
ODD JADE’s approach to creativity is all about unapologetically finding beauty in her imperfections and expressing herself without judgment. She is committed to rejecting the external noise of a loud world, focusing instead on human connection and personal growth, both for herself and those around her.
The Birth of ODD JADE: From Struggle to Self-Expression
ODD JADE’s journey began as a personal quest for authenticity. In a world where societal expectations often dictate who we should be, she chose to forge her own path. “She had this weird habit of being herself all the time. That’s why (not) everyone liked her,” she reflects, acknowledging the challenges that come with rejecting conformity as well as being rejected herself.
At the heart of her work is a simple but profound belief: true beauty lies in authenticity. Rather than following trends, ODD JADE invites others to shed their masks and embrace who they truly are. Her mission isn’t just about art, it’s about creating a space where people can reconnect with their true selves, free from judgment or expectation. All on their own terms.
“ODD JADE is about breaking free from the box,” she says. “It’s about showing people that they don’t have to be perfect to be loved or accepted. The most beautiful things come from the messiest parts of us.”
The Journey of Transformation: A Personal Awakening
ODD JADE’s transformation wasn’t immediate. For years, she struggled with the pressure to fit in, to be something she wasn’t, in a world that often told her she wasn’t enough. But everything changed in 2022 after reading Give and Take by Adam Grant. This book sparked a realization, an epiphany, that led her to embrace a life rooted in authenticity.
The creative force behind ODD JADE was born from this inner transformation, arising out of emptiness and nothingness. This shift marked a pivotal moment in her artistic journey, as she began to expose her imperfections and failures, turning them into something beautiful and delicate.
ODD JADE’s art became a reflection of this shift, a space where she could fully embrace the messiness of life and use it as fuel for creativity. “Every now and then, she tried to be normal but she failed miserably every time. Instead, she went back to being ODD,” she says. This acceptance of “oddness” has since become the foundation of her work, turning what many would consider flaws into the very defining characteristic of her art.
A Space for Authenticity: Building Community through Art
ODD JADE’s art isn’t just about creating pieces; it’s about creating a space for people to connect with their own insecurities, confront old patterns, and explore their nuances of emotional freedom. By embracing her true self, she has come to co-create a community, She Told Me a Story, that values authenticity, self-expression and raw, honest conversations.
Rather than seeking fame or recognition, ODD JADE has focused on building meaningful relationships. “I’m no longer here to compete. I’m merely here to be of aid to others,” she shares. This mindset shapes her work and impact, one that isn’t about personal gain, but about offering something greater: a societal movement rooted in love, joy, and kindness.
One of her key supporters in this journey is Victoria Sandberg, whose unwavering belief in ODD JADE’s vision has helped her evolve and expand her reach. Together, they’ve worked to create platforms that empowers others to embrace their true selves, live authentically and unapologetically pursue their dreams.
The Art of Transformation: Embracing Life’s Imperfections
At its core, ODD JADE’s work is all about transformation, taking life’s most difficult moments and turning them into something memorable and worthwhile. She embraces the messiness and imperfections of life, using them as fuel for her creativity. “She finds beauty in the ugliness & makes ugly beyond beautiful,” says the artist. This sentiment reflects ODD JADE’s entire philosophy: true beauty lies not in perfection, but in rawness and honesty.
The 3D poetry and visual art produced by ODD JADE embody this belief, offering emotional catharses for both the artist and the viewer. Through her work, she invites her audience to explore their own emotional landscapes, viewing their experiences in a new light and accepting their imperfections as integral parts of their story.
Creating a Legacy: More Than Just Art
ODD JADE’s journey isn’t just about creating art; it’s about leaving behind a legacy that inspires others to live authentically and embrace their true selves. “Every one of us has something to serve in this world, our world, a most disruptive one,” she shares. Her work challenges people to embrace their imperfections and use them as a means to create a better, kinder, and more compassionate world.
The focus of ODD JADE’s movement is not on seeking attention or approval, but on creating ripple effects that seep through lives in meaningful ways. Her intention is simple: to leave behind a legacy that encourages others to live authentically, just as she has.
