Spanning painting and sculpture, the exhibition explores themes of emotional sanctuary, memory, and inner freedom. Guo’s serene landscapes—drawn from personal travels across Europe and China—merge Western oil techniques with Chinese poetic vision. Tian’s sculpture works, inspired by Buddhist thought, offer quiet meditations on human spirit and presence.

“Everyone has a sacred place inside. My paintings are the way I return to it.” — Amanda Guo

“My sculptures are not religious icons, but quiet echoes of human spirit.” — Ziming Tian
