Vesper Jia (b. China, 1999) is an artist and writer who plays with various materials and explores their metaphorical meaning. Inspired by language and literature, she incorporates the essence of imagery and metaphor in her visual art works. Each physical and representational element of her works could be seen as symbols, through which she celebrates as well as challenges the materiality, and generates as well as provokes reflections. Her works draw a shape of the vital, the mortal, the mystic, and the dualistic, as “works made for contemplation.”
