SHE GETS BORED (and Other Truths)

XINGXIN HU

Close-up painting of a woman's torso lying on her side, wearing white lingerie, with a small insect on the fabric.

In her latest body of work, Xingxin Hu continues her introspective exploration of contemporary femininity: its quiet ruptures, its daily negotiations, its soft intimacies. Drawing from personal memory and second-hand experience, Hu constructs intimate psychological landscapes in which the female body and everyday objects act as vessels for complex emotional states: longing, disconnection, quiet defiance. Through a language of stillness and nuance, Hu visualizes the murky space between how femininity is felt and how it is performed. Her works reflect a desire to reconcile the innate with the constructed, capturing the uneasy choreography between interior perception and external expectation. The female subjects, often alone and sometimes partially obscured or cropped, are not passive but self-aware, poised at the edge of becoming or undoing.
