Photographer Rick Castro described her as "an influencer, a fashion icon, a beauty icon, a goth diva." In an interview with Document Journal, Salvia told Castro, "I know there’s people who masturbate to my pictures and it makes me laugh. For some reason, people are convinced I’m in congruence with the Illuminati and Satanism. I have no idea why, or what they even mean.."

Her focus is creating edited photography of her fashion and makeup design, and she often struggles with her work being censored on online platforms due to her extremity. an ambient pop, darkcore song, which she has stated is inspired by her childhood.
