DOES a chasm divide art and design? Art thinking generated the first smartphone, but design thinking turned it into a cultural wonder.
The two, however, seem to sit comfortably well in the artworks of Winna Go, one of the most promising young artists of her generation. She is currently preparing for upcoming local and international solo exhibits and group shows slated between now and 2026.The young artist, born in 1997, defines design thinking as user-centric, a mindset that requires empathy with the 'user' whose problems design seeks to solve.
As she describes it: 'The layered translucent fabrics showcase an endless and restless sea, which heightens the uncertainty of the routes of diaspora that our ancestors had taken before.'Immigrant experienceGo discloses how some of her ancestors succumbed to the 'belligerence of the sea' as they fled the unrest that resulted from the conflict between the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party as well as the Boxer and Cultural Revolutions.
