Daphne H.C. Shen is an artist based in the UK, and her greatest joy lies in creation. Even amidst a busy work schedule, she remains passionate about art and continues to create. Daphne has long struggled with insomnia and finds solace in her artistic practice, using it to express the overflow of thoughts in her mind. During her creative process, she approaches each piece as a challenge to herself, leading to distinct styles in her work across different periods. These styles vividly convey the clashes, conflicts, and contradictions within her own personality. Finding it difficult to express herself directly, Daphne hopes her artworks can speak for her, offering a glimpse into her inner world. This piece, <Life>, was completed with the concept of exploring universal truths from an observer's perspective. She also incorporated her beloved flora and fauna, and if you ask her why, she might not have a definitive answer – that's just Daphne.
