CHUNG ERICA (b.1999) is an artist who works predominantly with printmaking and its use in the expanded field. She is interested in the unavoidable collisions between the socio-political issues of Singapore and its effects to the states of being. Growing up in Singapore has provided her with valuable insight on social movement and justice (or injustice). For that purpose, her fervour to push the boundaries of social structure and norms through objects, imagery and text are vital part of her practice.

“If in this moment, in your country, things are going badly, I believe that one has the duty not to flee, but to remain to defend with extreme consistency of one’s own ideas, and to never give in. Because otherwise, going away, the space that we leave will be inevitably filled, occupied, by that which we a running from.” - Andrea Camilleri.

This work focuses on the materiality and the monochromatic hues as motifs to explore the psychological and social aspects of a crowd rally. With the forthcoming of the Singapore General Elections and the co-occurrences with my return next year, it became the point of departure for this series. Through the act of putting together the dichotomies into a work, it becomes a manifestation of the emotional conflicts of my observation of the situation in an attempt to bring about a moment of contemplation.
