Subconscious captures the adrenaline and vibrancy of city life, juxtaposed with the unspoken loneliness, tension, and dilemmas lurking beneath the surface.
Through her introspective street photography, Betty delves into her soul and subconscious, presenting unposed, unstaged images taken in a single exposure with minimal to no editing.
Subconscious also reflects Betty’s personal journey, shaped by her upbringing in the heart of Singapore. Growing up amidst the vibrant pulse of the city, she has always sensed the interplay between its light and dark sides forces that intertwine in ways that defy clear boundaries. In the dynamic, ever-changing urban landscape, these contrasting elements exist side by side, creating a complex and often mysterious rhythm that mirrors Betty’s own experience of life, where moments of clarity and obscurity coexist without distinct separation.
