Pink is a Trap.
Zhong’s artwork transforms symbols of amusement parks—roller coasters, slides, and swings—into dynamic, living entities.
These playful forms, alongside metaphors like lace, hair, and umbilical cords, serve as conduits for exploring femininity and desire. Beneath their vibrant exterior lies a subdued sense of isolation, a reflection on the pressures and constraints faced by contemporary women. Elements of childhood nostalgia, drawn from amusement parks and subconscious dreams, evoke fleeting comfort, yet this saccharine nostalgic“pinkness” simultaneously underscores the voids of modern life and the impossibility of fully realizing one’s dreams.

In her creative process, Zhong frequently incorporates motifs such as holes, windows, and doors—symbolic thresholds that serve as both barriers and connections. These liminal spaces embody a sense of ambiguity and transition, prompting questions about choice and consequence: How do we navigate these boundaries? Where do our decisions lead us? Within these confined spaces, the ordinary transforms into an adventure—a restless search for belonging in both reality and the soul.
