“Making art has made my understanding of myself both clearer and more complicated.”

In our latest conversation, artist Dwight Zhang reflects on those “stubborn stains” of life and what it means to accept uncertainty rather than always trying to resolve it.

Sometimes, the more we understand ourselves, the more there is to understand. For Dwight, painting has become a space where clarity and uncertainty can exist side by side. Every question leads to another question, and somewhere within them is the understanding that we are not alone.
