When Hung Liu returned to China in 1990 after having studied in America, she found a collection of images depicting teenage Chinese prostitutes. These photographs served as inspiration for a series of large portraits like "Visage VI", in which Liu surrounded the face with traditional Chinese blossoms, ghostly branches, and rivulets of paint, simultaneously revealing and concealing the woman. Her approach and the eerie image from China's past allude to cultural memory and the ways in which it is told by people who are looking back on it after a long time.
