Piece description from the artist
I discovered this mini mall in Chinatown in 2016. There's not much in there but it's always busy! I went on a late night and captured this woman with perfect timing. This photo speaks as a marker of the culture of New York City. Simple in its composition, the actions of those in the photo shine through as if they were placed intentionally. The lighting here offers a deep sense of the underground cultures that exist in this expansive metro.
Vanessa 'Venusian' Edwards is a Brooklyn-based visual artist, photographer, and Temple alumna who thrives on color, concept, and creativity. Through visually stimulating editing, she loves to emphasize the aspect of story and human emotion in any single photograph. Her favorite saying regarding her work is "human emotion is a lost art", which is something she aims to capture in every shot. As creative director and co-curator of the New York Art Collective and 1/2 of the creative team Sickly Particular, she is an active participant and driver of the arts community in Brooklyn. Her debut solo show, "She's Damaged" was an incredible success which has motivated her to continue her own creative projects and collaborations as well as curating other group shows.
