Ren Light Pan

Ren Light Pan (b. 1990) is a Chinese-American artist who combines the traditional medium of Chinese ink with highly inventive photographic processes involving light and body heat to create subtle, often ghostly images and abstractions. Pan’s introspective self-portraits in the exhibition serve as a testament to her pain and healing, engage the representation of the trans body, and deal with hybridized and transgressive cultural and gender identities.
