About the artwork
Against a backdrop of wisdom-lined shelves, individuals become living zodiacs, their forms merging with the traits of their animal counterparts. These images, steeped in the mystique of the Chinese almanac, guides the annual cycle of hope and caution, casting a personal light on the universal search for guidance in matters of the heart, success, and well-being.

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.
