Wing Po So creates installations, sculptures, and videos using Chinese medicinal ingredients as artistic materials, excavating the hidden interconnections, patterns, and systems within nature. Her practice is influenced by her formative encounters with traditional Chinese medicine, drawing on its emphasis on a sensitivity and observation towards the living environment, nature and the Universe. So applies the same theory of knowledge in her investigation of forms, materiality, metaphysics, relationality and cosmology.
So’s solo exhibitions took place at Para Site (2025) and Tai Kwun Contemporary (2018), among others. She will also take part in the upcoming Seoul Mediacity Biennale (2025).
