Maria Lau conceives her artwork through an exploration in identity focusing on the interrelation of Eastern and Western culture, based on her Cuban-Chinese heritage.
Eloquently bridging conceptual and experiential methods of creating art, her work embodies an authentic fusion of cultures, history and personal narrative using photography as her major medium. Truly the core of Ms. Lau’s work is a unique layering style that shows the viewer multiple insights into the heart of each piece. Working with film, she creates images through a technique of in-camera exposures, inviting the element of chance in the process.
