Xin Xin

My works are a series of maps filled with pockets of love and loss in our lives. In the spaces, these repetitive marks represent growth (steps) and grief (tears). Life is full of chapters closing, opening, and re-opening. We go through the white spaces of reflection and the dynamic path of the growing pains. With a variety of color, movement, and emotion I lay out our stories. But not everyone gets to hear these stories. I encourage viewers to step close and away from the works. From a distance the works almost become invisible. From afar, everyone’s life looks almost perfect. In reality, we are all struggling in silence. I want to create a comforting feeling that you are not alone. One day we will come out of the fog and to the next unwritten chapter.
