Natasha Lim was born in 2002 in Singapore. She is currently a Photography major at Nanyang Technology University and was previously trained in the fine arts. Lim primarily works with images to create impressions of ideas drawn from the natural world and to examine her inner psyche and how it responds to her desires.
Under the umbrella of Laleil Studio, Lim integrates her creative endeavors, spanning her diverse personas, artistry, and plant journals. She often employs a methodological approach to gather evidence and points for inquiry in her artistic practice. Her current works delve into the representation of the natural and built environment, incorporating elements of research and storytelling into her work.

How does one paint in a photograph? This singular question forms the basis of inquiry for the work where I address my innate desire to paint, but I cannot do so out of fear of losing faith in myself. Thus, I seek to provide limited freedom by adopting an experimental approach to permit spontaneity and the ability to explore at a semi-unrestrained level.
In Bad Faith explores the act of deliberately denying oneself choices and yielding to an imaginary figure that is an image of self-imposed expectations. To which to say, what figure can be more significant than the self? This self-imposed limitation stems from a fear of embracing the full extent of my freedom, opting instead for the illusion of constraint.
The illusion of constraint is visualised through the experimental process of chemigrams. Chemigrams create an image by forcing a chemical reaction between photographic paper and chemistry. By exposing a piece of black-and-white silver gelatin paper coated with a resist, I am opening up the possibilities of all kinds of images—and answers that form in the image
