2020 SFHS DP Visual Arts Y2 Exhibition

Renee Chang

Renee Chang is an artist and designer who was born in Queens, New York and grew up in New Jersey, Beijing, and Seoul. Her inspiration blossoms from her cultural background and her experience in different cultures. She finds passion in finding beauty and creating stories from small things. From acrylic paint to digital art and to everyday objects, Renee tries to expand her creativity by using various medium and techniques.

This exhibition revolves around my innate desire to represent the social groups I identify most strongly with, as beyond all of the complexities and identities I internally conflict with as a third culture muslim female, the one social group I can wholeheartedly belong to is youth. The artwork entails symbols of youth culture, symbols of unity and expression of observations, and aims to comment on the negative connotations with today’s youth, in an ironic manner.
