Soft Pop Is Back: Four New Posters by Cha That Say What We All Feel
Emotions, irony and empowered femininity — a new wave of retro-modern wall art
There are art collections that decorate a room. And then there are collections like Soft Pop Studio™ — the kind that lives with you, speaks for you, and says out loud what your internal monologue has been whispering.
With her signature blend of retro comic textures, pastel palettes, and emotional irony, artist Cha returns with four new posters that push her feminist pop art language further — bolder, wiser, and even more unapologetically real.
Each of these pieces is a self-contained narrative: a portrait of modern femininity that isn’t afraid to be tender and tired, chaotic and clever, cute and complex — sometimes all at once.

I Can’t Adult Today
A visual sigh of defiance in shades of poolside pink
A woman floats on a giant pink donut. Her sunglasses shield her from expectations. One arm dangles lazily in the water. Her cocktail is full. Her mind is empty — by choice.
“I Can’t Adult Today” poster doesn’t just capture the longing for a day off. It’s a quiet, powerful rebellion. A refusal to perform, to produce, to participate in the cult of hustle.
This isn’t laziness — it’s resistance in lipstick.
Cha channels the aesthetics of mid-century comic art and filters them through a contemporary lens: the halftones are there, but the message is very 2025. Rest is radical. Doing nothing is doing something. Especially for women who are told to always be more.
This poster is a tribute to the sacred right to opt out — at least for a day.

Ruining My Life
Glamour meets emotional spiraling, and it’s fabulous
At first glance, she’s radiant: golden hair, oversized sunglasses, a cocktail glass catching the light. But look closer, and the cracks appear — on purpose. “Ruining my life and looking fabulous doing it,” she confesses, almost with pride.
This is a portrait of performative collapse, a tongue-in-cheek take on how women are often expected to stay beautiful, composed, and entertaining even while falling apart.
Cha captures the full contradiction with elegance and bite: soft tones, feminine codes, but also chaos, drama, and brutal honesty. There’s no victim here — just someone who’s living through it with style.
“Ruining My Life” poster is for anyone who’s ever laughed while crying, worn mascara to a breakdown, or answered “fine” when everything was not. A celebration of complexity and contradiction, wrapped in a silk robe.

Cute
A soft boundary drawn in heart-shaped glasses
She rests her head on his shoulder. She looks peaceful. But the quote says it all: “He’s cute, but not like ruin-my-life cute.”
In Cute, Cha slows everything down. The composition is tender, intimate, and quiet — but the message is sharp. It’s about that moment where you realize your affection has limits, and your standards no longer disappear at the first spark.
This isn’t about bitterness. It’s about evolution. About being a woman who has loved, lost, learned — and now chooses differently.
The visual codes are pure romance: halftones, muted pinks, a dreamy gaze. But it’s not naïve. It’s a mature softness, an empowered calm, a refusal to settle disguised as sweetness.
“Cute” is the poster you hang when you still believe in love — but you believe in yourself more.

Texting
A rotary phone. A savage truth. A new classic.
“Sorry I didn’t text you back… I didn’t want to.”
No emoji. No excuse. Just pure, vintage detachment.
In Texting, Cha revisits the object of communication to say… nothing. Or rather: to say everything, with silence. The irony is perfect — a retro phone delivers a brutally modern message.
This is not ghosting. It’s emotional minimalism. It’s choosing mental peace over social pressure. It’s the art of not explaining yourself.
The old-school rotary phone brings a touch of nostalgia, but the message is razor sharp. The palette is muted, the textures timeless, the vibe unmistakable.
“Texting” poster is for anyone who’s ever felt guilt-tripped for prioritizing themselves — and who’s now done apologizing.
