Ming Ying Hong's drawings deconstruct familiar images, then reconstruct them in an unfamiliar way, creating unique, contradictory compositions. Her work pairs the masculine with feminine, the beautiful with grotesque, clumps of hair and flesh with the perfect and flawless. By bringing together these different and opposing elements in an unsettling way and removing their original context, Hong encourages the viewer to reassess ideas on the body, identity, and how we define things.
