Self-Diary (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Mengting (Matilda) Zhou’s work explores the invisible barrier among people of different social classes. Such intangible isolation is considered as the psychological distance between people. In Matilda’s work, be it human portraits or city landscapes, there is always a deep undercurrent of feeling, which makes most pictures neither vivid nor visually impacting at the first glance. However, standing in front of the works, the work tries to prove that in reality, such isolation is also a sense of security with self-defence.
