Hongshan Feng

(b. 2004, Hangzhou, China) lives and works in New York City. She is currently majoring in Fashion Design at Parsons School of Design. Hongshan’s practice operates between cultural memory and contemporary visual language. Influenced by both Eastern visual traditions and Western systems of representation, her work integrates painting, traditional media, architecture, textile, and sculptural forms, translating historical experience into contemporary material practice and spatial narratives.

Working across fashion, sculpture, painting, and mixed media, Hongshan examines how cultural knowledge is carried, transformed, and reinterpreted over time, with particular attention to its relationship to contemporary social identity and lived experience. Rather than positioning tradition as a fixed or regional identity, she approaches it as a fluid framework—one shaped by migration, translation, and the conditions of the present. From a female perspective, Hongshan reflects on questions of identity, inheritance, and authorship, exploring how personal memory intersects with collective history. By weaving together materials and visual languages from different cultural systems, her work proposes a contemporary dialogue that resists singular categorization and invites viewers to reconsider how culture is continuously constructed and reimagined in response to current social realities.
