Pig head

The pig head recalls the ritual sacrifices of the Chinese New Year, a memory that left a deep impression on me as a child. Its vivid colors and exaggerated features create a tension between fascination and discomfort, blending something familiar with something symbolic and unsettling. Through this work, I reflect on how cultural traditions shape our emotional experiences. The painting brings together memory, ritual, and personal response, inviting viewers to consider themes of life, death, and the lasting impact of what we witness growing up.
