Skin of Existence is a journey to find traces of a loved one who has passed away.
My beloved grandmother passed away in September 2022,
And since then,
I have constantly missed her and tried to find traces of her existence.

By capturing the indentations on the leather sofa that she loved to sit on,
Those wrinkles, like skin, have left marks with age and memory,
And the emotions and memories they present make me feel my grandmother's breath once again.

The work is printed on Japanese paper, and the texture of the paper gives the feeling of skin existing.

Szuling is a multidisciplinary artist working across design, photography and art. And also a pharmacist.

Experimentality and abstract avant-garde are two major characteristics of her works.
Artworks from photography, graphics, motions, paintings, and still explore various possibilities.

Most of her works express the relationship between the self and digital technology. It can either return to the pure essence or explore the boundaries between realities and illusions under the digital age.

All the works advocate the spirit of uniqueness and unlimited possibilities in our life.
