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.
Today she is collaborating with brands and artists across industries to bring visionary ideas to life, exploring herbology and the ceremony of drinking tea, and exploring somatic movement through practice and performance.
