About the artwork
A swimmer frozen in mid-dive and suspended above varied urban landscapes. Splashes of water trail behind, as if the swimmer carves through the air itself. It’s a visual metaphor for life's fluidity, the challenges we navigate, and the grace with which we maintain poise amidst the tumult.

Alsoguppyme makes surreal images out of the ordinary, twisting them until they feel both funny and unsettling. Midlife shifts leak into the work — the cracks, the restlessness, the changes you don’t quite have words for. She follows those glitches as they turn into strange reflections of daily life.
