In her solo survey exhibition, Cecile Chong: Blue and White Tides, the artist weaves together personal and global histories through the recurring motif of blue-and-white ceramics. Chong's insightful and refreshing perspectives on the spread of Chinese-originating blue and white ware explore how blue-and-white ware ceramics have accompanied humanity for centuries and reflect a global and enduring aesthetic obsession. Through this lens, Chong's exhibition becomes a quiet act of peace-building, inviting reflection on shared cultural symbols, ecological interconnectedness, and highlighting the lasting effects of cultural diffusion, cultural exclusion, the acquisition and implementation of cultural items into other cultures, and the possibility of healing across time and place.
