Artist
Contemporary artist Sophia Natasha Wei (b. 1982, Singapore) pursues performance art as her main artistic expression. Her performances address the human condition, which she hopes her audience could recreate personal meanings and discover new experiences from. The corporeal endurance of the female body to achieve empathy is expressed through her visual language, where she works regularly with confines of space, distorted beauty and vignettes of dreamlike fantasy. In recent years, her works have evolved to present the liminal zone between painterly images and live action. She is an active contributor to the Singapore arts landscape with her artistic practice and work in education.
