Sin-ying Cassandra Ho's Porcelain Constructed Realities at Nilufar Gallery
At Nilufar Gallery in Milan, Chinese ceramic artist and designer Sin-ying Cassandra Ho presents 'Constructed Realities: Life Beyond Borders,' a solo exhibition curated by gallerist Nina Yashar. The show features porcelain works that blend traditional motifs like dragons, peonies, and cherry blossoms with contemporary symbols such as financial codes, brand logos, and pop culture figures including Jesus with an electric guitar and John Lennon. Ho, who moved from East Asia to Canada and then the United States, describes her work as reflecting on daily life's contrasts and contradictions, aiming to restore balance between harmony and chaos.
