Htet Myat Thiri Shwe (Mya)
Mya’s creative journey began at the age of 12, rooted in the rich and storied cultural landscapes of Myanmar. Graduating this year from LASALLE College of the Arts, her perspective has been sharpened by the vibrant multiculturalism of Singapore. This dual heritage serves as the foundation for a practice that is as deeply informed by tradition as it is driven by modern rebellion. To Mya, heritage is not a static relic to be preserved. It is a living, breathing material to be disrupted and reworked. By looking through a distinct cultural lens, she adapts and experiments with existing narratives to build something entirely unprecedented. Mya exists in the slipstream between 'the known' and 'the new', possessing a unique ability to translate complex conceptual ideas with high-velocity visual impact.
