By Proxy

The Story

Working with Lenne on "By Proxy" was one of the most fulfilling collaborations I've ever undertaken. Lenne and I share a deep bond, rooted in our shared childhood in Singapore and our mutual passion for fashion photography. Although we've been friends for years, this project marked our first professional collaboration, and what a journey it's been!

The idea for "By Proxy" emerged naturally, almost as an extension of our shared experiences and newfound interests. As I ventured into the world of 3D virtual models and NFTs, we saw a unique opportunity to blend our individual skills in an innovative way. We decided to create a series of artworks that reflect the nebulous world of our growing years, blurring the lines between our real and constructed memories.

In "By Proxy", Lenne brought her incredible eye for detail and authenticity in capturing raw moments, while I added a layer of 3D elements. We aimed to make the transition from the photograph to the 3D elements as seamless as possible. This was intended to mirror the often unclear boundaries between what our minds remember and what truly happened.

The results, we hope, will make you question the authenticity of your own memories. We created a world where our virtual teenage character navigates a reality that is both familiar and dreamlike, encapsulating the bittersweet transition from girlhood to adolescence. The work is not just about creating beautiful images; it's an exploration into the subjective nature of memory and the role technology can play in shaping our understanding of reality.

In "By Proxy", we invite you to step into our shared past and perhaps, reflect on your own. Like the blurred lines in our artwork, we hope you find beauty in the ambiguity and come away questioning what is real and what is a construction of the mind.
