Macao artist Zhang Ke takes Medieval and Renaissance imagery and makes it speak to modern life, using centuries-old visual languages to explore identity, gender, and belonging in her city today. In “Heart of the Lotus,” she works across paper, collage, and watercolour, turning family stories and everyday moments into art that connects personal experience with wider social memory.
“Through my personal experiences, my observations, and feelings, I want to connect with society, history, and memory, to evoke a wider resonance,” Zhang explains.
