Vivien Zhang turns the canvas into a portal—shifting, shimmering, never still. What shapes our sense of place in a world where boundaries constantly move? Fragmented memories pieced together with precision and mystery.

Glitches become patterns, cultural mashups become language, and stillness hums with movement. Zhang paints like she’s mapping memory, movement, and the internet—all at once.
