Nge Lay

Nge Lay is a Yangon-based multi-media artist with a particular interest in performance and photography. Using everyday imagery and settings to translate her ideas about life, her country and her own identity, she creates photographs that hover between the descriptive and the spiritual. When photographing her subjects, Nge Lay plays with light and shadow in new ways to create the quiet but expectant tension that characterizes her colour prints. Nge Lay showed photographs in the exhibition ‘Transportasian- Visions of Contemporary Photography from Southeast Asia’ at the Singapore Art Museum in 2009.
