Donglai Meng
Donglai Meng is interested in the study of psychoanalysis, and the relationship between real experiences and the subconscious, especially the 'immersive daydreaming' phenomena.
Meng’s inspiration comes from different states of the human psyche, literature, drama, fairy tales, social issues, and subcultures. Her works are mainly paintings, fiction novels, and installations. The narrative is essential in her works. She is obsessed with putting creations in a fictional background, just like building a dream in the real world, making it a hint and reflection of fundamental problems and attempting to arouse the audience's attention to their inner experiences. Through exploring, Donglai hopes to understand further the various psychological states of human beings and their significance and function for ourselves and society.
