Luna Xue
Luna is a versatile visual artist whose practice spans painting, installation, 3D art, and bookmaking. With a background in illustration and extensive experience in the arts, her work explores themes of female identity, intergenerational trauma in Asian families, and sexual violence. Central to her practice is the act of storytelling—both as a deeply personal East Asian experience and as a bridge for cross-cultural communication. Blending traditional techniques with contemporary perspectives, Luna creates powerful visual narratives that seek to form profound emotional connections with viewers.
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.
