Perception is paramount in the dialogue created by Xiao Hui Wang in the "Erotic Flowers" series. These images at first alarm and provoke. They are not what they seem. Distortion plays in the eye of the viewer. These are flowers, not human bodies.
The discussion again returns to intimacy and erotic sensual detail.
Xiao Hui Wang’s work provokes the perception of the viewer, creating a challenge, an invitation to observe and to reflect upon the role and impact of limits and conventions within a society.
The beauty perceived in Xiao Hui’s ‘flowers’ is real and naked, distorted but revealing an inner soul, a world beyond our own perceptions of a flower. Intimacy is again enhanced, laid open, sensitized and desensitized. It is pure innocent beauty.
