About

My name is Shirley,  I am a student who studies contemporary art practice in RCA. My artworks focus lies primarily in the realm of abstraction and in exploring how dreams can evoke emotional resonance in contemporary art. Through an in-depth study of the psychological mechanisms behind emotional response, I have come to realize the significant role that personal experiences and emotional triggers play in dream-related artistic expression. I specialize in merging dreamlike imagery with contemporary elements to enhance the interactive relationship between art and its audience. My work seeks to explore the ideas of dreams, memory, and emotional transformation.
