Calista Ng
Calista is a visual artist whose work explores the silent exchange of social expectations and their influence on individual identity. Drawing from photography and text-based media, she creates installations that examine how social norms quietly shape our behaviors and perceptions.
Calista's practice often involves elements of movement and spatial layering, encouraging viewers to engage with the tensions that are present in everyday life. Her work captures the mundane in seemingly ordinary moments, prompting reflection on the assumptions that inform our daily interactions.
Through a thoughtful integration of image, language and space, Calista invites a deeper consideration of the roles we inhabit and the boundaries between who we are and who we’re expected to be.
