Madre Madonna Moderna
By l. Abigail Chua
Artist Bio
L. Abigail Chua is a project manager in the construction industry in New York City. As an immigrant, she gives a world view of her passion for visual arts through her photography “the quick shot”.
Abigail’s work is about the modern world and our place in it. Light is the foundation and sets the tone of the conversation she captures in an instant, which forces the viewer to come closer to explore for more detail, or to take a step back to understand the full picture. The idea of the “perceived” and the “actual” elicit reactions of fondness that is constant. As an artist she has the unique opportunity to exemplify, subvert, and redefine these concepts.
