Biography
With her ceramic sculptures titled Vomit Girl, Mai Nguyễn-Long responds to imposed silence, rejection, and displacement. Shaped through processes of fragmentation and reassembly, her work — oscillating between humour and unease — draws on hybrid cultural references to address experiences of silencing and re-emergence. Each sculpture thus becomes, in the artist’s words, a “contemporary folkloric form,” through which stories obscured by diasporic trauma regain voice and form, unfolding into alternative modes of memory and transmission.
