Luna Xue

My work explores themes of female identity, trauma, and the body, rooted in personal experiences of PTSD from childhood sexual abuse. Through painting, installation, and mixed media, I examine how memory is held and processed—both physically and emotionally. Growing up in an East Asian context shaped by silence and repression, I use art as a means to reclaim voice, confront pain, and reimagine selfhood. Feminist thinking guides my practice as I navigate the tension between vulnerability and resistance, aiming to create spaces for reflection, empathy, and emotional connection.
