For her first European exhibition, Melisa Teo shows us a part of her spiritual journey. After a career in book publishing, the young woman from Singapore suddenly dropped everything, to devote herself to photography.
“I was a book editor for a book publishing company until I bought a camera. I call it my Pandora’s box because because it unleashed all the demons within me. In Singapore we use to say that the five Cs (Condominium, Cash, Car, Credit card, Country club) are rules of success. So why if I have all of this, I’m still not happy ? What is my purpose in life ? And what is life all about ? I thought through religions I could find an answer, to what is the purpose of life.”
