Bio
My name, Jing, is one of the most ordinary Chinese girls’ names, which means silence and calm. However, I live my life with an opposite approach. I speak out though my art with an exotic voice in both English and Chinese. My artworks focus on the topic of observing China and the U.S. contemporary society. I am currently pursuing my Master of Fine Arts degree in Hunter College’s Integrated Media Art program.
