In the project, I combine the medium of photography and sculptures to create both photographic and sculptural assemblage. I use fleshy Sculpey clay to build up altered and fragmented bodies as my subjects, aiming to create a dialogue between the ambiguous nature of the objects and the space depicted in photographs- photography is the pictorial representation of mental states.

A Cactus in the Chimney
Project Description
"A cactus in the chimney" is a series of staged photography, which incorporates the artist’s self-portrait, and artificial materials to reflect the contradictory relationship between the urban environment and human nature. The artist uses her body as receiver and explores psychological emotions felt by people living in the industrial world. She also evokes her personal experience of anxiety and insecurity felt as a foreigner living in New York city. Her scenes are sophisticated constructions built from disposed-of objects and common artificial materials generated by wasteful environments which transform into playful, uncanny scenarios. The characters in the images are her symbolic avatar, traveling in the interior and exterior world in pictorial space.
