Lu plunges us into a surreal world where animals become mirrors of our souls. Deeply connected to nature, her art delves into the human psyche, blending surrealism and realism to create images that are both familiar and utterly strange.
​
Animals in Lu's work transcend mere subjects; they become symbols, reflecting our deepest fears, desires, and vulnerabilities. Whether a bird soaring free or a creature with human-like qualities, each animal carries a profound message. They embody our wildness, our longing, and the fragility of our existence.
​
Eyes are a recurring motif, appearing in unexpected places – within seashells, nestled in flowers or bubbles. More than just organs of sight, these eyes are windows to the soul, revealing both the inner world of the creature depicted and the viewer's own inner landscape. They possess an ancient wisdom, a depth that invites contemplation and introspection, the presence of pure consciousness, of absolute reality. We are compelled to examine our own perceptions and delve into the hidden recesses of our being.
​
The interplay of animals and eyes creates a unique and powerful atmosphere. It connects the individual to the cosmos, the inner world to the outer. Lu's art encourages us to break free from the constraints of ordinary perception, to see the world with fresh eyes, to discover the beauty and complexity that lies beneath the surface.
​
Ultimately, Lu invites us to see nature as a reflection of ourselves. By blurring the lines between human and animal, dream and reality, she challenges us to question our identity and our place within the grand tapestry of existence.
