Sunny Kim's work reconstructs emotions of loss and displacement into images, blurring the boundaries between reality and illusion. As a metaphor for the immigrant experience and a presentation of alternate history, Kim often employs ‘Girls in Uniform’ as a symbolic image to explore memories both experienced and imagined. They serve as the visual basis from which certain emotional and sensory ‘landscapes’ emerge. The ‘landscape’ becomes a subjective performance and a world-building exercise around the ‘girls’ inhabiting the scene.

Ronald Hall is deeply inspired by African American history and the rich cultural traditions that have shaped it. Hall's work seeks to explore the complexities and contradictions of this history, as well as the ongoing struggles and triumphs of the African American experience. Hall's contemporary figurative paintings draw upon a wide range of sources and influences, including surrealism, art history and popular culture. Hall uses these elements to create imaginative, dreamlike compositions that speak to the enduring resilience and creative spirit of the African American community

Ohan Breiding works with photography, video and collaboration to reinterpret historical events, putting the past into a meaningful transformative relation with the present. By employing a trans-feminist lens to the discussion of ecological care and amplifying landscapes as witness, Breiding's work aims to remember the forgotten, as they relate to the systemic failures and violence of the Anthropocene.

Wen-Woan Chang 's creations often involve the appropriation of art history to contrast with life experiences. Responding to questions and insights about daily life and art in a light-hearted and humorous manner, Chang attempts to challenge the viewer's perception and engage in conceptual dialectics. The intention is reflective, aimed at prompting a reconsideration and a second thought.
