Clara Lieu, Unseen II

Clara Lieus work focuses on a visual representation of the emotional and physical experience of individual isolation even when surrounded by others.The series Wading is an interdisciplinary project involving techniques of sculpture, drawing and printmaking.The images in this project depict figurative groups wading in water that becomes vehicles to visually articulating the experience of loneliness.Set within an infinite and undefined body of water, scenes of lost figures communicate moments of isolation between figures. This portrayal of loneliness is expressed as the feeling of being unseen and unknown within a group.
