Sunshyne Starr -

Sunshyne Starr’s visual identity is hyper-coherent: a palette of lavender, peach, and mint green; soft focus lighting; and a signature “Starr burst” hand gesture (fingers splayed from the temple).

This aligns with neoliberal governance, where structural problems are reframed as individual emotional failures.
