"Atem's work explores the inherent intimacy of portraiture and photography as well as the role photographers take as story tellers, interrogating photography as a framework for looking at the world and positioning people in it. She takes framing into a fantastical direction with the small portals over the subjects' faces, inviting the viewer to look at them through a surreal and constructed lens." (MARS Gallery, Melbourne)
