Stella’s work explores the intersection of domestic life, heritage, and mealtime, shaped by her dual-nationality upbringing. Drawing inspiration from Frederick Cotman’s gift for capturing emotional intimacy, she creates immersive pieces that evoke the warmth and familiarity of shared meals. Her piece, L’enfance, bridges past and present — revisiting childhood moments where her curiosity and creativity flourished, using her own early artwork as a touchstone. By playing with light, texture, and perspective, Stella extends an open invitation to take a seat at the table — both literally and metaphorically — celebrating culture, connection, and the quiet power of belonging. Her work reminds us that food is more than sustenance; it is memory, community, and identity intertwined.
Khuong delves into the intricate nature of identity, drawing inspiration from the rich, multifaceted layers of her Vietnamese heritage and the work of artist Mai Trung Thu. Through her art, she navigates the complexities of Vietnamese culture, reflecting on how one's surroundings shape their sense of self.
Rooted in her experiences within a traditional family, Khuong uses her culture as both a canvas and a voice — expressing the internal conflicts many face while celebrating the often-overlooked aspects of Vietnamese identity. Her work invites viewers to witness the beauty and nuance of a culture rarely seen or fully understood by others.
Michelle’s body of work explores the layered journey of self-love, shaped by personal experiences and sharp observations. It embraces the joy of accepting one’s unique traits while bravely confronting more sensitive themes, such as self-injury and the weight of societal expectations. Influenced by the surrealism and symbolic storytelling of artists like Kyle Thompson and Victoria Vincent, Michelle uses subtle, subjective imagery to convey complex emotions.
Her work creates a quiet yet powerful dialogue between art and audience, encouraging introspection and connection. As Michelle puts it, 'Self-love is achieved through embracement, growth, and recovery.'
