“Dust and Ashes 2” is another of Xue’s double painted canvases. It is a beautifully seductive work with pools of soft colour that enchant the eye and let the mind wander. Her use of a right-angled motif in strongly contrasting dark brown and orange, and a slithering line of blue invites the viewer to look harder and search for meaning, even if there is none intended. It is a work that rewards long contemplation.

In this series, I chose the most mature group of creative thinking about vision and culture. The repeat of the picture in the picture is my inconsistent expression of the entire record, that is, the electronic picture and the memory and historical perception. The two sets of photos on the screen refer to each other, and not one of the versions is the so-called "correct". The life recorded by electronic products is indeed the most realistic reality, but the feelings and experiences brought to us by the current scene are left in the memory. I see it as a push and pull between reality and memory. I retain some of the slightly different sense of production regarding handiwork, which is also the inconsistency between reality and memory, in my understanding. The repetition and difference presented in this set of creations are displayed together to give a more visually solid experience, which is more likely to cause viewers to react differently to some seemingly identical and familiar scenes. This strange but familiar feeling will break some of our original stereotypes to observe and think about things we ignore because of established impressions.

By facilitating access to global residencies, curatorial site visits, and group exhibitions alongside dedicated editorial profiling and critical writing, Artbridger ensures an artist's practice is documented with rigor and presented thoughtfully to global audiences, prioritizing sustainable creative autonomy over immediate market turnarounds.
