Heidi Wong

    Heidi Wong is a poet and artist whose work is as intense and bold as her expressionistic oil paintings and hyperrealistic digital art. Since the age of fifteen, she has cultivated a unique voice characterized by the stark juxtaposition of surreal and macabre imagery with intimate and beautiful language. Her upcoming collection explores the idea of transcendence, aiming to move beyond the silenced and demonized female body, concepts of tradition, and even nation, in order to ultimately reconcile with and escape one's past.

      "Wear poetry as both perfume and armor." Wong’s words and artistry are both vibrant with color, richly textured, defiant, and unapologetic in their boldness. Her speaker begins her spiritual journey of remembrance that transcends body, tradition, or even nation in the pursuit of authentic art that is constructed through the radical acceptance of the past in order to leave it all behind.Turning to Wallpaper is a story where no wounds are left unconfronted or softened. It is beautiful, without beauty. There is “pain, but no victimhood.”
