As a self-portrait artist, I use the observation of my surroundings, personal experiences, and my own transformation to create beautiful, conceptual images. My work is the transformation of my ideas into images. I am a highly positive person, and this positivism often reflects through my work, delivering images with a strong message of personal growth, self-love, and empowerment. I want my images to give hope and teach people to appreciate themselves, to love, dream, and believe that everything is possible if we believe it is. My images often feature simple backgrounds, saturated colors, and characteristic props like flowers, plants, origami, or balloons. I want my work to be viewed as a whole story condensed in one frame.
Micue’s aesthetic is unmistakable. In creating her conceptual photographs, her process is extremely precise, her final images meticulously composed, each element carefully considered. There is so much mood, emotion, and symbolism in these photographs because Micue approaches each image as a self-contained story. (You can hear more about Micue’s process directly from the artist on My Modern Met’s podcast.) She has a penchant for creating different characters, acting out each part. Her face is often obscured, drawing viewers deeper into the work, igniting their imaginations; some might be more inclined to see themselves in her photos or pick up on personal meaning in their metaphors. Take your reality into your own hands, they seem to say. Go inward, connect to emotion, find authenticity, don’t be afraid to dream.
