周純卉 Rhea C

Rhea’s multifaceted career spans an unexpectedly wide range: she has worked as a sales representative, served as a costume designer for celebrities, sold jerky in traditional markets, and cared for animals in shelters. She has been an actor and a model, and has also devoted herself to rural education, supporting children and marginalized communities.

These eclectic, ever-shifting experiences have shaped Rhea’s distinctive artistic perspective, weaving together sharp self-awareness and profound reflections on life. Her practice carries a rebellious edge, yet within its meticulously crafted details lies a tender sincerity. Her works often brim with dark humor—at times bold and impassioned, at times quietly unfolding with lingering resonance.

By using ceramics to evoke the texture and presence of excavated bronzeware, Rhea’s sculptures invite viewers to gradually unearth contemporary relics—objects that feel as though they belong both to ancient history and to the world we inhabit today.
