DONGLIN SONG

Donglin Song is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in painting illustration and sculpture, currently based in Leeds.
Her multidisciplinary practice encompasses illustration, mixed media, ceramics, and tattooing, focusing on the expression of subtle emotions and the exploration of human life.

Ego-attachment

This was my undergraduate graduation project. I wanted to explore the presence of the body, the experience of physical pain, and the fundamental question of what it means to exist in the world—expressed in a gentle, subtle way.

Detachment

This work grew out of my undergraduate graduation project, which couldn’t be exhibited at the time due to censorship and the pandemic. Four years later, after joining Assembly House in Leeds, I finally had the opportunity to present a related piece in their group show.

This installation is a transparent inflatable human form, partially filled with water, absorbent resin, and small rusty nails that almost disappear into the floor. The tension between these materials speaks to a kind of pain that is difficult to name, and to a state of dissociation that hovers between presence and absence. Through this work, I continue exploring the presence of the body, the experience of physical pain, and what it means to exist in the world—expressed in a gentle and subtle way.
