My name is Joshua Sim. I am a lens-based artist from Melbourne, Australia. My expressive approach to seeing the world is informed by my experiences of growing up mixed-race in Australia, as well as my education in Philosophy that compels me to explore the human condition. I have displayed my work in exhibitions and galleries across Melbourne and London, and have recently relocated to New York to expand my lens. Ultimately, my goal is to begin conversations on belonging, alienation, and representation to unite us across the boundaries that divide us.

Art for me is the reality situated behind the veil that everyone wears throughout each day of their lives. It is this veil that has been constructed by the world to which people have been thrown upon, remaining glued to their bodies to calm the chaos that is materialist reality. Art, then, is that underlying layer of truth—where dimensions and meanings weaken their grip around the psyche, and imagination reaches its true freedom. No longer bound to any fixed concept, art acts as the piercing nexus that helps break free from self-made prisons and dispositions, allowing us to reach our rightful, inherited pandemonium.
