Louise Low's conceptual artwork is a poignant rendition which centers on the notion of breaking free from the traps in the modern world, emphasised by the representation of a cage and door. She highlights the importance of knowledge as a universal key to liberating the self from the traps. Louise has created installations and sculptures integrating unique materials ranging from mirrors, satellite dishes, to fabrics.
