“Innocence,” is a series of works that examines the various facets of innocence and the ways in which it can be lost or regained, including familial relationships, love, human interaction, and the relationship between humans and nature. The works in the series share a common thread of exploring the complexities of innocence and human nature. In her illustrations, Betty explores the intersection between history, and macabre humor. Her pieces often depict contradictory emotions or ideas, such as innocence and violence, or childhood nostalgia and darkness. By using humor and satire, she hopes to encourage the viewers to question their perceptions of innocence and to contemplate the layers and complexities of humanity.
