Blankness, Jessica Jiang, 2020
I use art-making as a means of understanding my identity. Through this piece I was able to explore the feeling and embodiment of "blankness". The process of making this piece allowed me to focus less on idea and concept, while expressing myself through images. White styrofoam is both empty and blank, for me it evokes the feeling of something hollow. By placing a girl within a mound of empty matter, I aim to represent this feeling.
