You can regularly find Etamae underwater or staring with great intensity at something quite ordinary (as if there is anything can be called ordinary in this double click world!) and that is exactly what is at the crux of her artwork, 'the ordinary, and then she enjoys  changing it into something else - not more - simply different
This particular series centered around the D/s dynamics was inspired by the amazingly talented Mistero Hifeng who has given an 'okay' to his work being used as her inspiration. You can find her gallery on Hope Sim 6
