Wenqing’s work highlights human’s ignorance in aimless pursuits, using a combination of everyday items to craft scenes that comment on politics, social events, and fabricated values. She views herself as a gentle rebel, drawing attention to issues that have not yet raised enough awareness through the serene and understated language of her art.
Through her playful juxtaposition of simplistic objects, Wenqing explores the idea of how humans weave narratives and imbue still images with meanings. With a vivid color scheme, her work initially evoke a youthful simplicity, drawing in the observer. By combining the naivety of a children's perception with adults’ beliefs of worth and permanence, she critiques norms that contradict the principles of a civilized society and questions the foundation behind the definition of civilization.
