Naiwen Chou (b. 1994, Taipei, Taiwan)
Based in Zurich, Taiwanese artist Naiwen Chou explores memory, identity, and perception through sculpture, installation, and performance art. Having earned a Bachelor's degree in Sculpture from Tama Art University in Japan and a Master's degree in Fine Art from Zurich University of the Arts, Naiwen's work reflects her diverse cultural experiences. As a 'legal alien,' she challenges societal norms and transcends traditional boundaries of nationality, color, and gender. By abstracting personal narratives into visual forms, her art prompts introspection and collective dialogue on identity in a global context. Moreover, her work questions conventional notions of space and societal roles, fostering discussions on navigating identity in an ever-changing world.
