Look With This WorkCreate Project CharterLandscape, testimony, and buried memory
Set against a Nordic snow landscape, Shen Xin's work draws on historical trauma and the testimony of former comfort women. Its reference to Yasunari Kawabata's Snow Country opens a further layer of memory, oppression, and fragile intimacy. Snow becomes more than scenery. It becomes a surface where histories can be buried, silenced, and made visible again.
