From the solo exhibition Adhesion / Scar Tissue, 2021
徐 晴 Sunny Hsu

Lives and works in Philadelphia, PA, USA
My work explores the ambiguity of human connection through actions that reflect the tension between breaking and mending. Inspired by the idiom "剪不斷，理還亂," I use thread, fiber and materials in my paintings to visualize emotional entanglement, resilience, and the search for belonging. Scene-like and unresolved, my pieces dwell in gray areas—inviting reflection, memory, and interpretation.
