Jessica Chung is a graduate from Baptist University, Academy of Visual Arts concentrating on sculpture and installation. She is interested in combining materials together to observe their contrast. Her sculpture, Bubble, is based on the theme of memory in relation to reality and fantasy. She explains that memories are like pieces of a puzzle in that they can be taken apart into fragments and put back together no longer resembling what is the entire truth. One might not even realize the moment when the memory changed its form because it keeps changing every second. She feels that the memories in our mind can be like fake messages recreated and affected by our emotions, imagination and feelings. Her sculptural work made of iron, glass and water aims to create a fragmented tower that delves into her notions of obscured reality through subjective memory. In the world where the term “fake news” is heard on a daily basis and individuals insist on a reality based on subjective truths, one wonders how memories can be warped or even manipulated.
