Jessie Siu: Inner Landscapes

EVENT DESCRIPTION

In Buddhism, the concept of “Inner Landscapes” , refers to the complex emotional, mental, and spiritual realms within each individual. Cultivating inner landscapes emphasizes the journey back to the essence or true nature of oneself, liberating from superficial appearances and attachments, while encouraging a return to the quiet and pure nature of the self. Nowadays amidst external chaos and busy lives, the urge to seek inner tranquility becomes increasingly vital.

The exhibition “Inner Landscapes” aims to guide the audience towards self-reflection, exploring the path of personal practice and delving into the recognition of one’s true essence. The artworks draw inspiration from the philosophical underpinnings of inner exploration, capturing moments of fragility and loneliness through vibrant colors and shapes, depicting the struggles and elevations experienced during this introspective journey. Each piece symbolizes a voyage into the inner self, highlighting transformative moments of inspiration.

These works illustrate that the exploration of our inner landscapes is not always linear; it is filled with twists and turns, prompting deep reflection. Every color and brushstroke reveals how we can find peace amidst the clutter of daily life and glean insights through various practices, gradually awakening to the profound meaning of our existence.

Artist Jessie Siu Ching-Chi employs her unique language of geometric pixel art and sculpting techniques to showcase dynamic exploration, representing a continual process of learning and growing. Each path within our inner landscapes holds the potential to serve as a shortcut to clarity and freedom, allowing individuals to rediscover and recognize their true selves.

In every stage of life, we may feel lost within our own landscapes, but that sense of disorientation is not the end; it is rather the beginning of a journey toward rediscovery. These works convey hope, symbolizing the return to our true selves after shedding the external constraints that obscure our inner truth.

This exhibition is not just a visual feast but also a soul-stirring dialogue. We sincerely invite you to experience these artworks firsthand, exploring the wisdom of navigating one’s inner landscapes, reconnecting with the self, and uncovering your truest essence. Join us on this journey of self-discovery as we seek the light and truth within.
