Zeng Xiaoru
Zeng Xiaoru is an artist who explores ceramics. She came across ceramics as part of her program at the Hong Kong Baptist University. The uniqueness of ceramics makes her feel that every piece of clay is alive and Zeng decided to explore different areas in ceramics. Zeng believes that human emotions are limited by human language, and ceramics can express them in a more vivid way. Ceramics is therefore an expression of her body and soul. Zeng specializes in exploring one’s innermost emotions with the most primitive clay materials and expressing them in the form of ceramics. Initially preferring to express her personal emotions as the goal of her work, in 2023 she began to explore the emotions of the people around her. She tries to explore the emotions of strangers in a variety of ways and uses her work to show the results and she hopes to express the emotional needs of more people through art.
曾曉茹是在陶瓷裡探索的藝術家,她在香港浸會大學的課程中接觸了陶瓷這一個課程,陶瓷的獨特性讓她感覺每一塊陶泥都有生命力,因此決定在陶瓷中探索不同的領域。曾曉茹認為人的情緒會侷限於人體的語言表達,而陶瓷可以更加生動的表達出情緒的型態。因此陶瓷對於她來說是一個身體內心的表達。她擅長用最原始的泥土材料探索人內心的情緒,以陶瓷的形式表達出來。曾曉茹在最初喜歡表達個人情感作為創作目的,在2023年她開始向探索周圍人的情感,她開始嘗試用多元化的方式探索陌生人的情緒並利用自己的作品展示結果,她希望能用藝術的方式表達更多人的情感需求。
