PURITY OF TRUE FEELINGS (ASTROSLUGS II) | 2024

PURITY OF TRUE FEELING (MULITCOLOUR I) | 2024

Ying Zheng's practices explore the pure feelings of humanity and relationships.

She Utilises the delicate balance between stability and fluidity in ceramics to explore the essence and internal relationship of projection, superego, and conflict in romantic relationships. The works take on an abstract form with a porous structure, symbolising the virtual changes that occur within our bodies: the untouchable, but real and emotional changes in feelings. The liquid flow from the inside out also expresses the intensity of emotions.

She uses gloop glaze as a powerful visual language, combining abstract sculpture as a medium to record and preserve the complexity of the inner world and psychological processes of the individual by exploring the innocence of feelings and emotional changes in human romantic relationships.
