spectral sentiments by Jing Liang, curated by Lê Nguyên Phương, resonates with untold stories—fragmented memories held within the intimate spaces of a home. The exhibition explores an overlapping realm where traces of feminine labour reveal hidden narratives of women. Liang's work traces the quiet endurance, pain, and resilience of women within family life, sprawling sentiments that linger in fragments and evolve silently through generations. It reflects an intangible force—a connection a daughter reaches for, grasping at what remains when the home can no longer be returned to.
