Self | 本体
“Sometimes I want to laugh at how paradoxical everything is; just like after I wrote down the word “paradoxical” I suddenly had to confront the blankness brought up by the word; just like I write these letters in attempt to ease the ache of being separated from you, but when I feel such intense ache to see you, writing becomes just as unbearable as the separation itself.“
“有时我真想嘲笑一切是多么矛盾;就像在我写下“矛盾”这个词之后，我突然不得不面对这个词所带来的空白;就像我写这些信是为了减轻与你分离的痛苦一样，但当我看到你感到如此强烈的痛苦时，写信就像分离本身一样让我无法忍受。”

Vesper Jia (b. China, 1999) is an artist and writer who plays with various materials and explores their metaphorical meaning. She received B.F.A with distinction at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is the author of the book “”Da Capo. ” Inspired by language and literature, she incorporates the essence of imagery and metaphor in her visual artworks. Each physical and representational element of her works could be seen as symbols, through which she celebrates as well as challenges the materiality, and generates as well as provokes reflections. Her works draw a shape of the vital, the mortal, the mystic, and the dualistic, as “works made for contemplation.”
