Sweet, Juicy, and Rebellious
Works by Linye Jiang 江麟冶
"Fruit" was historically a derogatory term in Western culture, targeting gay men by associating them with femininity. In "Sweet, Juicy, and Rebellious," I reclaim this symbolism through Fruit Portraits—a series that challenges societal norms and celebrates queer identity and femininity. By transforming fruit, I project my personal experiences, desires, and frustrations onto it, redefining a traditionally innocent subject.
The installation also features two video pieces: Tenderness and Warmth. In Tenderness, a hand gently caresses a soft object in water, transitioning from black and white to color. Warmth captures the gradual transformation of a frozen object as it responds to warmth, inviting viewers to reflect on the subtle, yet profound, effects of touch and their surroundings.
