I am interested in the different psychological conditions of people, and I often observe the subtle actions of strangers on the streets. In "Invisible Cities" series, I use the city as a carrier to explore human survival and psychological conditions in our society nowadays. They are perfect cities that live in my imagination, therefore they do not exist. In these cities, they recorded some of the human memories and desires but none of them is being forgotten. Spiritual confusion can be found in the paintworks, they suggest people seem to be in the same flow but in fact, there is no connection that can be found between them. Those geometrical meshes like shapes suggest a sense of trapped or loss of freedom. As modern society develops rapidly, it is difficult for people to adapt to the fast-changing paces of life. Life in the future is uncertain and ungraspable. And those confused and helpless people that wander in the streets are as if bodies without souls. They choose to escape to other cities due to life pressure but their souls remain in the same reality. I use the kind of trapped, lost, and helplessness in this series of works to question modern civilization and express human pains.

LIEW MEI TOONG 廖梅彤 (b. 1996, Johor bahru) received her Diploma in Fine Art (2017) from the Dasein Academy of Art in Kuala Lumpur. My works explore the people in my lifeblood that I observed and encounter in different times and space. They record my inner emotions swing as well as my sentiments towards outer experiences including childhood memories, trivial of everyday life and my personal experiences when encountering people. Time refers the past, now and moments of a day, whilst space refers to venue, location and existence that consist of subjective materiality. And people refer to the familiars and strangers. The content of the works shuttles between togetherness, parting, sadness and anxiety about conditions of life. I enjoy expressing my sensible side with broken images and textured surface. I attempted to present vicissitude, loneliness, depression and helplessness found within the cause and effect of life. I adopt the techniques of building, destroying and repairing in my work. It suggests a sense of life mending within the process of arranging, taking away and rearranging. The works allow the viewers to engage in a narrative concerning the complication of life.
