Jing Zhou's works often arise from quiet observations of boundaries, where the first gestures of geometry and rhythm emerge through patient repetition. These forms, restrained yet deliberate, unfold like meditations—shaped by long processes of building, measuring, and layering. What may appear minimal reveals an emotional density; what seems routine is, in truth, a reclamation of rhythm and presence.
[Rituals of Escape] draws inspiration from both personal and cultural references. The structural symmetry of Buddhist mandalas provides a contemplative framework, while echoes of Yayoi Kusama's patterned intensity appear in Zhou's process—though her voice remains firmly introspective. With a foundation in design, Zhou's compositions balance clarity with texture, restraint with release. The exhibition presents a series of tactile, quietly powerful works that transform repetition into resonance and stillness into feeling.
