Mama II

By Trixie Tan
My work is inspired by my mother’s garden. My mom’s garden faded away as she passed. But a pot of orchid survived and was blooming unattended. She passed away due to uterine cancer. I find it ironic that the part of human body that creates life can be the what also took it away. Now, I pay more attention to the change of human body, and its complexity of has inspired me in the production of this series. How a tiny organ can play in important role in shaping human life. However, I’m not emphasizing the end of life but exploring life at its finest. Especially at this moment when I have youth, maturity and beauty combined. Human organs are like jigsaw puzzles, joining together piece by piece for to create a bigger picture.
