Party series(2024-2025)
Qian Zhong’s work delves into themes of female identity and desire, offering a poignant critique of contemporary social constructs and the constraints they impose. The female body in her work becomes both a spectacle and a site of introspection—suspended in a liminal space where self-presentation dazzles outwardly, while inwardly echoing with longing and absence. It exists in a fragile tension between glamour and emptiness.
In her creative process, Zhong frequently incorporates dazzling visual elements—glittering dresses, tooth gems, sequins—that captivate with hypnotic allure, drawing viewers into a world of fleeting spectacle and artificial brilliance. Yet beneath this opulent surface lies a quiet solitude: an emotional residue that lingers after the music fades and the lights go out. Her fragmented portrayals of the female body—adorned, illuminated, yet often obscured—embody this duality, evoking a presence that is at once performative and vulnerable, assertive and haunted.
