Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork 

Reflecting hauntological themes, Junyi Lu's submitted work represents an escapist yearning for a fantasised home. Personal symbols in her work explore childhood memories, desires, and vulnerabilities, carrying a sense of collective unsettlement towards a lost future. Oscillating between reality and imagination, the imagery provokes mobile associations and intensified emotional responses. 

You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
