In her organic, perfectly orchestrated discourse, Michelle Lim pushes audiences to navigate nature-technology transitions. Lim employs digital editing to mimic fine plant characteristics from original photographs, producing symmetrical masterpieces, surpassing traditional botanical illustration.
Like tessellations and Rorschach tests, the compositions stimulate the subconscious and elicit emotion. Lim uses plants as a symbol of life and expansion, to explore human existence and social consciousness. The natural asymmetry of the leaves and stems is turned into a pleasing ordered design, representing our desire for order in chaos. Singapore, the artist's hometown, symbolises stability and creativity in chaos. Lim's images reflect a contentment in the artist's pride in Singapore's stability and sustainability.
Michelle Lim's images seem to question our reality and our ambition to control or reproduce nature's beauty through art, nature, and technology. Lim's intricate craftsmanship and grasp of light, texture, and shape make each piece a worthy addition to any fine art collection.
