Jasmine Sim (b. Malaysia, raised in Melbourne) is a conceptual and mixed-media artist whose practice investigates the fluid boundaries between emotion, material, and transformation. Her works often merge sculptural form with layered visual processes, evoking states of tension and release — the quiet violence and tenderness of feeling.
Sim’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that emotion, when fully felt, becomes a form of alchemy. Her pieces are both visceral and meditative, inviting the viewer to experience emotion as architecture — something that builds, collapses, and rebuilds the self.
Through her evolving body of work, Jasmine continues to shape a visual world where fragility and strength coexist, revealing the beauty found in surrender and the liberation within vulnerability.
