Sodoma Xia
SODOMA-X is a 21-year-old photographer, digital artist and NFT artist currently based in London. (She creates works) about self-expression and self-acceptance. Most of her works are pretty dark, but it is just how she works to integrate into her shadow, accepting the aspects suppressed by her ego and then maintaining continuity and individuality. Her works are infinite darkness. They are horrific but stylised nightmares.
Her works have recognizable high fantasy and satanic styles with extraordinary and provoking colour grading, sophisticated compositing, and exquisite details. They are emotionally provoking pieces, driving viewers into an infinite dark fantasy realm and making viewers forget reality. 'Weltschmerz' ( literally world-pain or world-weariness ) is the central concept of all her works. It is a literal concept describing the feeling experienced by an individual who believes that reality can never satisfy the mind's expectations, resulting in a mood of weariness or sadness about life arising from the acute awareness of evil and suffering. Traditional photography and fascination with new technology (Stable Diffusion and Programme coding are also of great inspiration to me who then challenge myself in manipulating my media to combine this visually. The works in this exhibit feature a range of photography and new technology manipulation techniques, various types of processed colour grading and compositions.
