Surrealism and self-portrait projects seem to be all the rage these days, which is why we weren’t surprised to find Surreal-ity by Kylie Woon. Not surprised, but thoroughly delighted that an artist so young is so skilled at creating fairytale-like stories and very atmospheric images, filled with powerful emotion. Woon, based in Singapore, says that her work features the recurrent motif of flying and flipping over mid-flight because she’s always felt as if she were flipping around from obsessing over details to seeing the bigger picture. Her profound thoughts on the pictures read as follows: “When I am zoomed in, everything in the universe is dark except for the inside of my head. I feel my feelings with painful clarity, and I am obsessed. When I am zoomed out, I am floating in space somewhere, looking down on earth which is the size of a glass marble. Like pieces of a puzzle, things just seem to fall into place. It’s a reassuring clarity.”
