Her creative works open a new window for the viewers to approach Xinjiang and help them understand this region in a new perspective.
Hua Wang was also born in Xinjiang, Her experimental practice can be seen as a ceramics testing ground as well as a conceptual laboratory that investigates diverse personal, social and political themes. Hua specializes in using different media to address philosophical issues of interest to her, such as aggressive consumerism and gender identity, which are inextricably linked to traditional cultural contexts. Hua Wang's installation brings you to a world that is not restricted to a timeline, a world where time frames overlap.
