Sterk uses a blend of ink and acrylic to create a sense of lightness, where the subject matter feels more like a memory or a sketch from a dream than a literal depiction. The use of polka dots and a vibrant palette of reds and pinks lends the work a spirited energy, reminiscent of classic book illustrations where every line carries a sense of movement and personality.

There is an inherent innocence in the way the garments are presented, stripped of heavy artifice and instead focused on the joy of design. By layering fading whites against bolder shades, Sterk explores the tactile nature of fabric and the way light interacts with delicate textures, making the ordinary feel remarkably spirited and fresh.
