Stephanie Teng is an artist working at the intersection of the liminal and the subliminal. Her practice examines the tension and tenderness between emotional states that cultivate resilience in the face of fear. Rooted in experiences of generational displacement, her work moves from the personal to the political, creating spaces where notions of identity, oppression, migration, grief, and healing are explored through the framework of decolonisation. Stephanie investigates how trauma reshapes perception; how language connects us to universal truths; and how bringing the darker parts of the subconscious into light can transport us to new states of empowerment. Drawing inspiration from Jungian concepts of the collective unconscious, her work seeks to create moments of synchronicity through the alchemy of material, spatial, and psychological interactions.
