Exhibition History:
Jiangnan Flag, BFM Art Center, Suzhou, China, curated by Avy Yang, September 23, 2023 - December 3, 2024
Unreachable Destination, New Art City, curated by Sammie Veeler, ︎︎︎enter online
Project Description:
The hand is a unique feature of human beings. It carries meanings such as existence, and humanity, as well as a symbol for the connections between individuals. Through different gestures, we can convey rich emotions and meanings.
I started the drawing series "Unreachable Destination" after my experience learning rock climbing in Joshua Tree. In this context, the hand serves as a recurring symbol representing the connection between human body and nature. To me, hand symbolizes the process of self-awareness and self-discovery, including emotions like courage, risk, strength, and the uncertainty of the future.
For my online exhibition at New Art City, I adapted my wax pastel works into a series of virtual sculptures. These sculptures are placed among a unique 3D landscape where the figure-ground relationship is redefined, and the figure becomes part of the landscape.
