Light We Never Named | 安全岛

A Melbourne-based artist and stylist whose work explores the interplay between beauty and perceived ugliness. Her pieces delve into personal experience, cultural identity and the duality of human nature, aiming to empower and challenge conventional aesthetics.

I feel...' drifts through the soft terrain of childhood—where memory folds into emotion, and time is a quiet blur. In this collection, Jingwen traces the invisible contours of her early years, shaped by the presence of her grandfather. It is not a story, but a sensation—a series of emotional residues held in colour, shape, and space.

These works do not recall specific scenes, but the weightless feeling of a quiet moment, the hush of a room shared in silence, the warmth of being near someone who expected nothing but presence. Each piece floats between clarity and forgetting, where tenderness lives alongside a strange, early understanding of impermanence.
