ABOUT
Magdalene prefer to call herself as a "work-in-progress" interdisciplinary artist. She is constantly seeking the definition of beauty in design, and in life... After reading Jasper Morrison & Naoto Fuwasaka's Super Normal, it set her a fundamental belief: To observe beauty not from social normalities, but, through the ordinaries via everyday objects, moments and events. To rediscover the values of our needs, and unseen emotions we have long overlooked in this rapidly changing world.
She enjoys capturing intangible emotions. As a creator herself, she invites viewers to read her works in their own perception.
