Uyen Hoang is a scientist turned self-taught artist, her work is a blend of absurdity, existentialism and precision.
MAGGOT’S PUBERTY reflects the transformation of an undesirable creature that lives in rot, a maggot, into its final and no less disgusting form, a fly. However, this fly and its existence are romanticized in its uncannily human home. Inspired by The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, the main character's grotesque and physical degeneration into a bug parallels the continuing physical retrogression of Man's society in the shadow of capitalism and its class struggle. Under such system, one must confront their darkest form in order to not be consumed by their living condition.
︎ CONFAB Juried Exhibition. Selected by Tiffany Williams, a Curator for Art in Embassies at the U.S. Department of State.
︎ Running till 12-02-2024
︎Washington Studio School
