This is a digitalization of the physical installation Soft Porcelain.
This soft inflatable bear is inspired by Chinese blue-and-white porcelain. Its kneeling pose is reminiscent of both prayer and corporal punishment prostrations — a gesture of both hope and vulnerability. This blue-and- white porcelain bear has four ears, implying the union of mother and child. The artwork is part of the exhibition At the Edge of Two Worlds that explores new digital possibilities for bridging gaps between memories and experiences, whilst mediating culture and identity through the lens of gender and diaspora.
