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.

Artist Statement:


Creating art is my way of navigating and understanding the intricate inner landscapes that lie beneath the surface of our realities. In the vast and boundless universe, human existence represents only a small fraction, yet within us, we hold complex worlds filled with emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Our knowledge and reasoning, though valuable, are often limited when it comes to grasping the true nature of our inner selves and the cosmos. These limitations, shaped by culture, education, and personal experiences, can create barriers that prevent us from accessing deeper truths within.

Through my artistic practice, I endeavor to transcend these limitations, expanding my exploration of the inner landscapes of the mind and spirit. As I delve into the essence of life, I approach this exploration with an open mind, recognizing that the mind itself embodies the vast potential of the universe. By shedding the veils of ignorance that obscure our perception, we can access the infinite wisdom that resides within us.

The truths hidden within our inner landscapes often remain veiled, concealed behind layers of doubt and distraction. My hope is that through my art, I can illuminate these obscured truths and bring forth the light of self-discovery into your awareness. With this newfound insight and understanding, you too can unveil your unique truth and reconnect with the boundless possibilities that lie within the universe and yourself.

Join me on this journey of introspection and revelation as we explore the depth of our inner landscapes, encouraging us all to seek the light and wisdom that is ever-present within us.
