“Joyful, lovable objects made from common materials and everyday magic. ”
🐉Nala is a multidisciplinary artist working in Toronto. An amalgamation of soft sculpture, puppetry, miniatures, and 3D modelling, her work often features aspects of East Asian magical realism and Western fantasy, the staples of her childhood as a Chinese immigrant. She dreams of making props for film and television, bringing mythical creatures to life, and becoming a dragon.
