The curious and melancholy paintings of Taiwanese artist Yin-Ling Hsu focus on the complex and contradictory relationships we have with nature and each other. Arranging her characters in states of rest or peril, Hsu also obscures their faces suggesting a loss of identity and ability to physically express their emotions. This palpable vulnerability is where Hsu is most successful; one can almost feel the wounds and protection instincts of her characters as their own.
