Salina Lam

rediscovering no place and memories

Oh! to experience grieve

Foreign lights, 2025
acrylic and watercolour on canvas, 40 x 50

Artwork responding to Choi Jeong Hwa, Red Lotus, 2014 for Deakin University’s Face to Face Revisit Exhibition.

Breathe in, breathe out,
inhale and exhale.

I felt deeply emerge in the movement of the Red Lotus.
Without its context, I watched and recorded the time, movement, and the surroundings of this time on Earth.
Capturing this fleeting experience of existence and bringing it in with a foreign landscape, language and light.
