Motion Studies
Emily Gao
A series of monotype prints exploring light, movement, and emotion through nonhuman subjects.
Each print captures a creature in a fleeting moment, caught between shadow and illumination, gestures that feel both wild and deeply familiar. Through layered ink, blurred motion, and dramatic tonal contrasts, the works invite viewers to see animals not as subjects of observation, but as mirrors of our own internal states.
