Artist / Heidi Ling
Ling Wai Shan, Heidi graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Visual Arts, Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University in 2023. She focuses on contemporary social issues, exploring complex relationships between humans, nature, culture, and interactions between the body and the city. She uses symbolism and metaphor to express thoughts and emotions on these topics. Her artwork is rich in poetic and subtle expressions, utilising symbolic meanings to convey emotions and provide insights into contemporary social issues.By transforming symbols and combining objects, viewers are prompted to interpret and imagine. The artwork through meticulous color and brushwork, revealing the relationship between space, light, and objects, employs the use of transparency to explore the relationship between the visible and the invisible, while contemplating the connection between the truth of things and their appearances.
