Artwork Title: Frog
Hello, World reflects the feeling of finding something that I should be accustomed to, bizarre and new. Every time I moved, I encountered a lot of unfamiliar things, such as language, cultures and traditions, geography, and lifestyle. As I was trying to navigate through my new life, I found it ironic that what was supposed to be ordinary, like walking into a convenience store or commuting to school, became unordinary to me. However, I do not always see this experience as scary or depressing, but rather intriguing. The wonders of the unknown resulted in my fascination with fantasy and surrealism.
My name is Natasha. I am a digital artist based in Australia who fell in love with the concept of surrealism and fantasy. Growing up, I find it difficult to express my emotions and feelings in words and resorted to using artwork as my means of communication. Working with 3D visualisation and animation, I explore ways in which digital media can become a non-didactic, multifaceted tool that can reflect one’s subconsciousness. I also have a special interest in environmental design as it is not just elements to fill up empty spaces but significant elements which tell stories of their own.
