Sly Morikawa is a Japanese-English artist and photographer based in Sydney, Australia.
Known for her sensitive, dreamlike photographs imbued with intimacy and softness, Morikawa’s work draws on recurring themes of sex, subculture and self. Her depictions of the angelic and the unorthodox return her audience to a sense of agency; a permission to suspend biases and taboo.
