Read MoreLiane Chu's work is not only a personal narrative reflecting her experience with Tourette's syndrome but also a canvas challenging society's boundaries of "normal" and "abnormal." Each stroke serves as a cathartic release, embodying her belief in self-healing and self-expression. Chu attempts to break free from binary divisions, aiming to find hope and tranquility in the chaos of life.
In her surrealist landscapes, Chu also explores how humans, akin to trees, are deeply influenced by their consumption. Just as nutrients sustain us, harmful content can lead to decay. She emphasizes the pervasive influence of media in urban life, illustrating how our interactions with technology subtly shape our existence.
