Hung Liu

Fortune Cookie exemplifies Hung Liu’s interest in memory, cultural symbolism, and the interplay between personal and collective histories. The work combines Xerox paste-ups, photographs, and brush-and-ink reproductions to create a layered composition that engages with both narrative and visual form.

Referencing fortune cookies and Tai Chi imagery, Liu explores themes of chance, guidance, and cultural identity, while the meticulous page schemata suggest a careful orchestration of meaning and visual rhythm. The piece invites viewers to consider the intersections of tradition, modernity, and personal interpretation within the framework of contemporary mixed-media practice.
