RECLAIMING REPRESENTATION

What began with portraits has evolved into full-scale world-building. Lo blends surrealism with storytelling, using altered scales, dreamlike settings, and digital editing tools like Photoshop, Lightroom, and Procreate. “It’s nonlinear. Messy. Joyful,” they say of their process. “Each piece is shaped not just by the original concept, but by what I discover as I go.” Lo’s images feel like alternate dimensions, places where Blackness is not just seen but centered, celebrated, and mythologized.

For Lo, creativity isn’t just about making images, it’s about seeing the world differently, solving problems from angles no one else thought to look. “That’s all creativity is,”.

Whether that means using unconventional color to elevate skin tones or digitally warping reality to reflect emotional truths, Lo’s work always invites us to ask: What would the world look like if we saw Blackness through a lens of love, imagination, and depth?
