Sumay Cheah started her artistic journey by dabbling in the art of photography from a very young age and has always been drawn to the play between light and shadow; a signature style seen in most of her creations. As years went by, there was the desire to transcend deeper impact into the world, to weave in more of her personal beliefs into her work and pay homage to her Peranakan heritage. She has also always found immersive art to be wondrous and wanted to bring her audiences that were usually in front of the lens, behind. So here then on, she was set on creating immersive art experiences in many forms that would take her audiences on a journey.OtherHalf Studio was thus born, a partnership between two classmates from high school with a vision to transport audiences to an immersive space, suspended in time. Experiencing OtherHalf’s work is reminiscent of a dreamy and surreal experience. OtherHalf art installations have always been all about inclusivity; always kids and family-friendly, disability inclusive and a space where you can truly enjoy and appreciate art singlemindedly without the distraction of the outside world. It is a multisensorial art experience like no other.
