Does my way of expressing myself fit this Subreddit?

This Subreddit got recommended to me, but I got a lot of rudeness and dismissiveness from other Subreddits I tried it in, so I am a bit cautious now.

Due to my disability conventional art does not work for me anymore. Sadly. So, here an explanation of what I do:

My writing blends visual art and experimental storytelling by using letter magnets as symbolic characters and metaphors. Instead of traditional prose, I arrange letters—varying in color, size, and placement—to represent people, emotions, and experiences. This form creates layered meaning through visual symbolism and spatial relationships, making it a hybrid of conceptual writing, visual poetry, and semiotic narrative. It’s a unique way to tell stories that combines language, metaphor, and imagery all at once. All of that is combined with my voice, so the layers can be explored together.

I added a Short as an example.

Do I belong among you guys?

Post pictures of cartoons/movies that have been redrawn in a different style. A good example would be an image of the South Park characters done anime style.

"Alternative art, although I do not have a dictionary defined definition, is art that intends to reflect its original design/theme but different art techniques, themes, styles or other varying "twists" are added to make the art original and "alternative""

See: https://old.reddit.com/r/alternativeart/top/ for examples.

Ah, so mine does not fit, because it is too orginal? I mean I would gladly draw cartoons and stuff, but, well, you would need functioning eyes for that. Which, unfortanately, I do not have.

So, do you know where my form of art fits in?
