‘We look at the world once, in childhood. The rest is memory’ - Louise Gluck
Lu’s work explores the relationship between everyday experience, memory and imagination. Through the recomposition and arrangement of familiar scenes and dream fragments, she creates images that feel both intimate and faintly unreal. Influenced by Impressionism and Surrealism, her practice reflects on how the images encountered in daily life shape the ways in which she perceives and represents the world. By seeking a balance between observation and imagination, her work constructs a poetic space in which the subconscious and dream imagery intertwine.
