Wong Nga Shan, Ailsa (b. 1997)

WONG’s practices include paintings, videos,  images, and installations. She explores ways to connect consciousness with primitive emotions to fill the vacuum of belief. In the creation process that is non-research-based yet introspective, a narrative structure is almost nonexistent. To verify and communicate emotions, images were extracted from fragmented life experiences, as meanings disappeared and were re-established repeatedly.

WONG obtained her bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2019. Her works were exhibited at Yrellag Gallery, Floating Projects, Gallery Exit in Hong Kong, Das Esszimmer in Germany, and de Bierumer School in the Netherlands.
