Technically trained in Architecture and practicing in more physical mediums in recent years, New York City based maker Caressa Siu also has work in photography, painting and sculpture.
Maintaining an interest in photography from a young age, her primary focus has been to explore the individual’s relationship with stillness and oneness. Â
During her trips to visit her maternal grandmother over the last few decades, she has and continues to explore the emotional complexities of documenting the life of her "original muse.” On these visits, she grapples with being a granddaughter of immigrants who wants to experience the present and being a photographer who wants to forever capture a memory. She interweaves both her self and her grandmother’s self as they both experience age, lost and change through multi generations.Â
