SYZYGY 2025, Taiwan
Resonance of Soul Frequencies and the Score of Time: Jing You’s Solo Exhibition Traces the Paths of Encounter in Syzygy
Hiro Hiro Art Space is honored to present Syzygy, the inaugural solo exhibition by artist Jing You, on view from December 13, 2025, to January 11, 2026.
Borrowed from astronomy, the term syzygy refers to the moment when the Sun, Moon, and Earth align in a straight line. Jing You employs this celestial alignment to reveal the exhibition’s central theme: the fated encounters and the harmonic resonance between souls. In her hands, the imageries of people, time, and emotion—the heart-shaped seeds of the Compass Plant, bougainvillea from past memories, the restless humidity after a thunderstorm, the searing scarlet red, melodies composed by time on the musical staves, and pistils transformed into swans—become a macroscopic order that synthesizes inner stirrings and cosmic laws.
From this cosmic perspective, her work then draws the viewer back to the emotional specifics embedded in individual forms. Jing You employs flowers as microcosmic reflections of the human heart. Their varied temperaments—lush, faint, vibrant, and subtle—delicately trace the veiled and intricate emotional landscapes of human relationships. Souls with the same frequency attract and resonate, eventually co-creating their own “Interpersonal Gardens of Destiny.”
This notion of the “Garden” also echoes Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges’ The Garden of Forking Paths, with the visual motifs responding to the allegory of diverging time, choice, and infinite possibility: every encounter stands as a crossroads of destiny, branching into another timeline.
