As a digital artist raised between New York and Shanghai, I’ve spent years crafting images that dance between reality and dream. This piece reflects on a recent photo series—vibrant blue dresses, delicate sheer fabrics, and the quiet power of unfiltered skin. It’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about reclaiming our bodies from the algorithm. What if beauty isn’t polished perfection—but honest light on real skin? Join me in questioning what we see—and what we choose to show.

As a digital artist who once chased perfection through AI filters, I found myself staring at a photograph that defied all my ideals. Not because it was flawless—but because it was raw. In this moment, I questioned: what does ‘beautiful’ really mean when light meets skin without disguise? This is not just a photo; it’s an invitation to see ourselves as we are—imperfect, glowing, alive.

I’m Su Su A—a digital poet raised in Manhattan, daughter of a Shanghai dancer and California engineer. This series isn’t about perfection—it’s about the fragile, unfiltered moments: gray silk brushing against skin, shoulder bare under soft light. In 86 frames, I captured what no filter could hide: the quiet tremor of being truly seen. Not for clicks. Not for likes. For those who still remember what it means to be real.
