Between Two Selves explores cultural identity through the symbolism of the fox, combining Eastern and Western visual influences within a diptych format.
Inspired by the Chinese myth of the nine-tailed fox and the decorative style of Alphonse Mucha, the project contrasts two interpretations of the fox: one representing spirituality and traditional Chinese culture, and the other reflecting adaptation, self-presentation and British identity.
Created for Chinese art and design students studying in the UK, the work explores the experience of existing between two cultural systems. Through colour, composition and symbolism, the project invites viewers to reflect on identity, transformation and the balance between cultural belonging and adaptation.
