XIAO Hanqiu’s work explores the subtle relationship between memory, emotion, and the materiality of objects through poetic and surreal imagery. She combines seemingly opposing elements, such as animals, minerals, the human body, and man-made objects in her paintings to visualise metaphoric poetries. The interaction between different materials in her work display a unique artistic tension, proposing distinct essence of the objects within. Her creative process usually starts out with a boundless imagination, is completed through deep interaction with the depicted objects and lets the work attains its own identity.

Tant Yunshu ZHONG’s practice examines the relational logic between objects and materials. Drawing from industrial samples and functional goods, she reconfigures them into sculptural assemblages that unsettle conventional notions of use and form. Her works reveal the contradictions embedded in everyday materials, balancing fragility with strength and precision with improvisation. They invite viewers to perceive objects as active participants in an unfolding process rather than fixed entities.
