676: The Exposure Of Encouragement With Kimothy Wu

Kimothy Wu is a South African-born digital artist focused in the realms of illustration, video and animation, and virtual reality. Her fascination with the “untold story”, where the subjects in her work often go unnoticed in the everyday stream of information and imagery, has led her to recreating her personal delight in discovering the natural world and sharing it in a public sphere. Deeply inspired by the vast and magnificent landscapes of her birth country, her video and virtual reality works explore the relationship between humans and nature’s multitude of other lifeforms. Her use of emotive imagery aims to evoke the “inner child” in her audiences – to play, touch and experience the world from a shifted perspective.

Kimothy used to live a life with no passion. She shares how the exposure of encouragement by sharing her self taught artwork gave her the confidence to keep putting herself out there to be the woman that she is today.
