Florian-Ayala Fauna is an American artist, musician, and music producer. Fauna is part of the music duo uncertain with Felix Spencer Keigh.
At age 5, Fauna moved from the U.S. state Virginia to Bombay Beach, California in Southern California along the rift lake Salton Sea. She credits the place as an inspiration to her music. According to Paris-based art community Artchipel, the place had a "big impact on her childhood and becomes a major influence in her life." In an interview with Buffalo, New York alternative newspaper The Public's Cory Perla, she described it as "a very kind of post-apocalyptic-looking town."
In 2013, Fauna lived in the exurb community of Indio, California. At age 21, she moved to Buffalo, New York where she has been part of Buffalo, New York's experimental art and LGBTmusic scene. Fauna experiences visions due to temporal lobe epilepsy. She identifies as intersex and transgender.
Fauna is a multidisciplinary artist whose work has been exhibited at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, France, a Coil-themed exhibition in Berlin, Germany, and in the United Kingdom as well as locally in Buffalo, New York. Fauna's artwork utilizes collage, film, painting, photography, and poetry. Her work includes imagery of occult, psychedelia, chaos and spiritual enlightenment. Animal imagery of birds, deer, foxes, goats, hares, and wolves figures often. In an interview with Artchipel, Fauna said her inspiration behind her art were "[t]hings that are sacred, profane, or some combination of the two. Fragility, purity, and decay are important subjects in my work. Nature is also a noteworthy aspect of my work as well."
