Lêna Bùi and Ling Pui Sze are participating artists in ‘Muted Hums’.

Lêna Bùi works primarily with painting and video, and also experiments with other mediums. Her works offer both amusing anecdotes and in-depth articulations of the impact of rapid development on people’s relationship with nature and their surroundings. She is deeply interested in nature and worldviews that are not entirely human-centric, but also in human resilience.

Ling Pui Sze has created a number of experimental ink and collage series in which she collects images of nature taken by various machines, such as microscopes and satellites that she then tears and reassembles into abstract images of creatures and landscapes that result in transfigured images that are both familiar and distant. The works manifest incidental organic forms, resembling the evolution of life and a reconstruction of another world on the canvas. Together with other media such as sculpture, video and installation, Ling explores the relationship between biological traits and the development of human society.
