Echoing the sentiment of a 1990s song by Hong Kong singer Faye Wong, multidisciplinary artist Xie Rong, also known as Echo Morgan, presents a multi-sensory exhibition rooted in her 2024 site-specific performance, "You Don’t Always See a Rainbow After Rain," first created at the Crow Museum.

The work reflects the idea that not every sorrow can be surmounted, a rainbow may or may not appear after a traumatic event. During her performance over a six-day period, Xie created a large-scale, evolving work using her hair as a brush, painting onto a scroll-like canvas laid across the floor and moved throughout the museum’s indoor and outdoor spaces.

She layered a new color during daily one-hour performances, with each hue tied to personal memories of her parents. Through spoken word, song and body painting, the artist transformed her personal history into an abstract tapestry, shaped by fragility, loss and resilience.

The exhibition expands on that original performative painting through photography, video, painting and ephemeral materials, juxtaposing these elements to create an immersive, multi-sensory experience.
