"Unbeatable" not only reminds us of the often underestimated feminine power that lies within us but also the power of a sense of humor and playfulness that helps us push through difficult moments. - Kayee C
UNBEATABLE KAYEE C

Kayee is a fine art photographer raised in Hong Kong before relocating to France. She creates storytelling images by assembling her self-portraits to explore the dynamics of human relationships. Her work can be expressed with a humorous, dramatic, or melancholic staging of various social interactions. Kayee attempts to offer a critical, offbeat, and sometimes poetic look at how we relate to each other. Her main body of work consists of an ongoing series entitled Visual Guide to Social Life.

Her creations have been exhibited in galleries in Hong Kong, Paris, Rome, Glasgow, and the prestigious photography fair Paris Photo 2021. She has also been published in international magazines such as Art Market Magazine and F-Stop Magazine.

The small series, Unbeatable, is a playful exploration of power and strength via an imaginary divine character. This central female character interacts with herself as people in different settings. We can see admiration expressed to a goddess representing kindness, a powerful goddess demonstrating her supernatural strength, a dominating goddess proud of her divide and rule policy, and even a goddess caught offguard by a flying banana thrown towards her.

Power is expressed in its different colors: our ability to remain kind, to use our physical strength, to govern based on our beliefs despite adversity, and to react to unwelcome events.
