Transdisciplinary artist Ruocong Ma examines the contradiction and correlation of spiritual strength, human body, sexual representation, and feminism in our society, working on oil painting, performance, and sculpture. Her work is primarily concerned with the tension of flesh and instinctive desire. Her erotic portrait painting work often employs domineering poses, vivid colors, creative lighting, and tight costume as symbolism for implying audiences about complex class power.
