matcha originated in China about 1200 years ago, açaí has been consumed by Indigenous communities in the Amazon for centuries, and Dubai chocolate was invented by combining chocolate with knafeh, an 1100 year old SWANA snack.

white people love to call nonwhite foods suddenly becoming popular in western mainstream culture "industry plants" as if they haven't always existed.

Back when I started my channel in 2023 I had this idea that it would be fun to mix real life art and The Sims 2 for my channel's art. I'm Brazilian and so the first arts were recreations of famous paintings from my land, the first one being the "Workers" by Tarsila do Amaral in 1933.

The real piece carries a lot of meaning, mine is only the premades of Sims 2, but they do mean a lot to me, so there's that.

Feel free to use my recreations as you wish!
