About the Artist
Leo Mah is an interdisciplinary lens-based artist based and born on coast Salish territories.
Currently in the undergraduate program of photography at Emily Carr university, Mah’s work takes a sundry approach to technological and environmental anxiousness. By using everyday curiosities he explores his own mixed identity in the culturally diversified landscape of Vancouver, BC.
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Last summer, my grandmother passed on to me the privilege of taking the responsibility of growing and maintaining our family garden in East Vancouver.
Within these images, two specimens are contained in our institution's studio. Taken near the end of the harvest, they are a culmination of care, growth and teachings passed down from generation to generation.
Truth is said: a garden is good for the soul, for there seems to be nothing more natural than care for our earth.
