Artist Xie Qun presents at Reflexion a project that merges myth, fictional archaeology, and cultural critique. At its core is the figure of Nuwa, the primordial female deity, fragmented over centuries by shifting narratives and now reduced to a marginal legend. Xie symbolically reconstructs the goddess through a fabricated archaeological site, where ceramic artifacts evoke an ancient matrilineal culture. The exhibition reflects on the female body as a site of creation and transition: vessels, clay, and hollow forms become metaphors for fertility, ritual, and memory. The artist overlays temporal and ideological layers, revealing how every reconstruction of the past is shaped by present-day perspectives. Thus, ceramics become both body and record, myth becomes a political act, and the work stands as an invitation to imagine alternative narratives in a world still marked by entrenched hierarchies.
