Red has been an anchor in my creative mind.

Spanning from my earliest works to the most recent. Its multifaceted nature is what draws me in; it exists as a paradox. Red is undeniably tied to love, passion, and the very essence of femininity—qualities that speak to my identity and exploration of self. Yet, red also represents danger, urgency, and a rawness that challenges comfort. These dualities coexist in my work, a silent communicator of complex emotions.

Red’s significance in my cultural identity can’t be overstated. It’s the color of China’s flag, a symbol of my heritage, my upbringing, and a tie to the traditions that shape who I am today. With this project, I aim to weave these layers of red into a narrative that spans love, fear, empowerment, and cultural pride. The three series of photographs are meant to reflect these dimensions, giving the viewer a glimpse into the powerful emotional spectrum that red has always evoked for me.
