Palace
As an Asian female artist, my body of work reconstructs a fiction narration that mirrors the dominant discourse in art history and archives, exploring the themes of female visibility and the Asian diaspora’s generational traumas and loss.
In "Palace," my photographic work draws inspiration from 19th-century history paintings, exploring male gaze in life and art history. Photography here becomes an imaginary land of the original painting, a true documentation of chronology, a new perspective on the relationship between power and gender. It is inspired by a traditional Chinese idiom, “女人不可登大雅之堂” (A woman should not enter the main hall).
