Continued living alone in a foreign country drowns me into a state
of unconscious self-indulgence. In the photo, I deformed myself
in a glass of water and the upside-down of the image intents to
give a deformed sensation to the viewers. Both artist and viewers
experience deformation but in a different stage of the process.
"The Deformation of Narcissus" is a self-portrait.
Suet-sum is a photographic artist who always gets inspired by the pure state of nature. With this as the creative core, she extends this to art themes that she is interested in, including time, childhood, memory, identity, dream, reality, vanities, visible, invisible, consciousness, sub-consciousness, as well as the different state of mind in daily life. She hopes to bring out sense of silence and poetic feeling from her works.
