《Dwarf, Dust, Doubt》, 2018.10.25 - 2018.12.22, Tina Kim Gallery
The title of the exhibition, 《Dwarf, Dust, Doubt》, embraces the intention of going against a general sentiment towards size, weight, and perception. By general sentiment, it means static political innuendos on how people treat objects when they perceive or look at them.
