Sugar Water (1)
糖水 (1)

The first issue of artist Sha Luo’s “Sugar Water 糖水”.

This zine series begins with mysterious and uncanny imagery, extending the dimension of Sha Luo’s photographs with tactility. Guided by deliberate observation and intuitive reaction, she captures ephemeral, mundane moments, layering them with tenderness and sensibility. Through her practice, she explores the ambiguity between reality and fantasy as well as the perception of tension and intimacy.

As she describes her works: “It’s about love -- because everything connects to it.”

All photos were taken during the artist‘s residency at Hortus Arboretum & Botanical.

22 pages, with with extended gatefold and french fold. Each features a unique bead design.
