Artist Statement
Perceiving photography as a manifestation of the subconscious and the externalisation of inner emotions, Lau King explores the 3-dimensional world with her intuitive flash of mind in the sense of aesthetics and imaginary. Under years of self-discovery, Lau King finds her own unique language and self-expression through her eyes of the world.
“Time and reality do not exist, all circumstances outside come from our inner projection of both consciousness and subconscious mind. We are the creators of our own universe. By standing in the perspective of an observer without holding any definition of the world, the selflessness allows you to see the world with infinite points and possibilities. Each work is uniquely reflecting how my current emotions, frequency and consciousness connecting to the 3-dimension world at specific point of time. They are the language of my soul ” she said.
Against the over-manipulation of photography nowadays, Lau King infuses her imagination and high aesthetics sense into the reality without any modification. She believes our world is full of surprise and beauty with her adventurous and curious spirit and only originality and truth can stand the trial of time. By transcending the ordinary world into an extraordinary 2-dimension panel, Lau King creates painterly photography with her energy and consciousness infused in each work, in the hope of connecting emotions and raising awareness with
audience.
