Sue-Yee Leung was born in Boston, MA to immigrants from Hong Kong. After graduating from Boston Latin School, she studied Photography and New Media at Massachusetts College of Art and Design where she received her BFA with Departmental and Academic Honors in 2005. Her work has been exhibited at such galleries as the Panopticon Gallery, Boston, MA, the Chashama Gallery, New York, NY, and Project Parlor, Brooklyn, NY. She is also a partner of Zoa Chimerum Jewelry with artist Ian T. Henderson. In her work, Sue-Yee’s portraits are fragments of clues to personal mysteries—pinpoints within a narrative about a cycle of growth and decay. In the Polaroid series in UVA’s EPIC, human bodies hold truths about mortality and spirituality that are obscured, never fully hidden nor revealed. Her distorted physical representations are both specific references to a physical self, a personal story, and to an ambiguous space created by the existence of an external, universally shared human mythology.
