Anna Yam creates a world of in-between places and gaps through her photographs. She navigates chaos and stillness, the familiar and unfamiliar and, perhaps most crucially, belonging and being set apart. Yam uses wit and humor as a bulwark against the harsher realities of alienation and transplantation; soothing the viewer with extreme beauty, while presenting images that are both alluring and, at times, disarmingly foreign and fetishistic.
