Vanilla Chi's work focuses on the cultural symbols and motifs of Eastern Asian cultures, folklore and folk beliefs. There is a nebulous and fatalistic connection between primitive religions, folk beliefs, folklore, totemism and symbolism, which provide her with a way of seeing and interacting with the world. What has led us to the present, and what will guide us into the future? Chasing these queries, Vanilla’s practices dive into her heritage memories, culture context and personal histories.
