Seow Wei’s angle of interest is wide ranging, depending on whichever captures her attention at the moment in time. She often draws inspiration from her surroundings and her recent interest lies in plant life and people.
The formal aesthetics of lines, curves and angles inherent in human forms fascinates her greatly ever since she took up life drawing during her school days and it continues to be one of her favourite subject matter. Given the close association of flowers with femininity, the flora setting which the women are set in seems only natural. The fact that flowers and women are almost synonymous in many cultures allows the artworks to be open for multiple interpretation by the viewers.
