Xiayi Su (b.1997) is a London based Chinese artist working in photography and writing. Her early artistic practice combined urban landscape photography with literary composition, and was influenced by cinema and music. Subsequently, she shifted her interest in landscape from the city spaces to nature.
Her current practice focuses on personal spiritual experience, led by exploring the truth of life. Her photographs present lingering memory after palimpsest. Through creating deep and mysterious nature landscapes to explore the subtle profundity of life.
