Rise Ed. 3 of 10

Finalist 2023 Leithbridge Small Scale Art Prize

‘Rise’ is an image from my series ‘Reflection’. The series is a raw and emotive visual display of life, the events, outcomes, strength and pull post The Pandemic. Through this series I explored my experiences and life from 2020- 2023 documenting ideas abstractly through sculptural botanical creations using new and previous techniques.

‘Rise” Explores a moment of freedom. Expressing a time when crippling lockdowns and limitations were lifted offering society joyous relief from confinement

Follow

I am an Australian contemporary art photographer with South Korean Heritage. I use my art to interpret emotions, ideas and events exposed in my life. Botanicals displayed in an activated sculptural way are regular featured within my work to conceptually represent these ideas. Layering of paint, smoke and fire are also regularly showcased.
Formally trained as a commercial photographer with strong knowledge in film and darkroom artistry I approach my work with the technique of modern commercial media.
