Skye visualises psychological self-multiplicity through surrealist self-portraiture painting. Composing fragments of herself co-existing within a visceral realm, Skye constructs narratives that externalise internal encounters. These personal narratives explore conflicting intrapsychic roles of each fragmented self, revealing a disturbed identity that emerges and lingers in the aftermath of trauma.

Self-Encounters visualises psychological self-multiplicity. Translucent fragments of self co-exist within a surreal, visceral realm, constructing narratives that externalise internal encounters. These personal narratives explore the conflicting intrapsychic roles of each fragmented self, revealing the disturbed self-relationships that emerge and linger in the aftermath of trauma.
