Shortlisted for International Art Award
All of the artists who were selected to participate in the juried international art exhibition at CICA Vancouver (titled Fragments of Passage: Part One. CICA Vancouver X Jelina Couture International Art Awards 2025) were already long-listed for their art prize, so the exhibit itself was an honour.
My sculpture was shortlisted for one of the three art prizes and both jurors offered comments about the work:
Sho Sho Esquiro:
"Very compelling work that evokes curiosity of the meaning of this piece, after reading more about the artists inspiration and life, I could identify as someone who lives in chronic pain. This piece really spoke to me and I feel is very powerful."
Xu Ning:
"The theme of the universe and the individual is tranquil and profound, with dramatic characters creating a mysterious cosmology."
