Its scale and attitude invokes our broad understanding of the human body, but its skin and interior has been stretched, contorted and deformed by pulling and growing. There seems to be a number of pressures pushing, resisting and responding to each other. The forms are not anatomical, but more of a ‘warwick’ – a place where organic and synthetic pressure deform, intertwine and evolve. Inhabiting the body is usually a sufficiently stable relation, here it is left for you to consider. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/S2468229965860718589843731801287/WechatIMG121.jpg Title: Beneath The Body Year: 2025 Medium: Steel, Fabric and Latex Dimension: L115cm x W70cm x H215cm https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/O2468234878025751233886522074311/20250706-a717df45b4eca012b68bc321d7a29f54.jpg Title: Beneath The Body Year: 2025 Medium: Steel, Fabric and Latex Dimension: L115cm x W70cm x H215cm https://hongruzhang.com/beneath-the-body-detailed 2026-05-13T15:41:16+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/D2468230433393447138012317508807/WechatIMG113.jpg Title: Beneath The Body Year: 2025 Medium: Steel, Fabric and Latex Dimension: L115cm x W70cm x H215cm https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/X2468230459975205348227781387463/WechatIMG116.jpg Title: Beneath The Body Year: 2025 Medium: Steel, Fabric and Latex Dimension: L115cm x W70cm x H215cm https://hongruzhang.com/growth-i-ii 2026-05-13T15:41:16+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/U2468241061411258229475642860743/Hongru-Zhang-Growth-I---II.jpg “Growth I & II” continues with this examination of the body as a state of constant growth and mutation, drawing attention to the subtle changes taking place inside the body and the new states that arise. Blooming skeletal structures and organ-like alien forms grow slowly, ambiguously, transcending the natural/grotesque boundary. These unsettling hybrid forms refer to the fluid and indeterminate states of identity and existence. The tension here is not violent, but in the unknown quality of this slow proliferation, which makes us aware of how we relate to our bodies in a state of vulnerability and reconstruction, such that the living is multiple and complex. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Q2468244368561982508197766128839/20210812-_DSF0212.jpeg Title: Growth II Year: 2025 Medium: Steel, Fabric and Latex Dimension: L20cm x W20cm x H12cm https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/H2468245017241737860194148705479/20210812-_DSF0214.jpeg Title: Growth I Year: 2025 Medium: Steel, Fabric and Latex Dimension: L28cm x W26cm x H18cm https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Q2468245531149581009668547175623/20210812-_DSF0219.jpeg Title: Growth I Year: 2025 Medium: Steel, Fabric and Latex Dimension: L28cm x W26cm x H18cm https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/W2468247114267604159495976412359/20210812-_DSF0211.jpeg Title: Growth II Year: 2025 Medium: Steel, Fabric and Latex Dimension: L20cm x W20cm x H12cm https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/G2592488894517127644862944273607/DSCF8923_.jpg Title: Growth II Year: 2025 Medium: Steel, Fabric and Latex Dimension: L20cm x W20cm x H12cm https://hongruzhang.com/captured-form 2026-05-13T15:41:16+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/N2934930438707045677887725659335/DSC07140.jpg The body dissolves and reorganizes itself as a series of unstable forms suspended between the organic and the unfamiliar heterogeneity. Being in a continuous state of transition, these structures emerge from within fragile enclosures, where processes of expansion and contraction happen simultaneously. Interior and exterior are not interpreted as separate conditions but as interconnected and permeable states held in dynamic tension between stability and fragility. Performing as evolving internal systems, the works transform through processes of growth, fusion, and accumulation. As materials mutate and reconstruct over time, various forms are generated, which imply ongoing transformation instead of a static state. In such a way, the structures remain open to continual encounter, producing meanings that are neither fixed nor singular. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/G2934930438946853350845949830343/DSC07166.jpg Title: Captured Form Year: 2026 Medium: Jesmonite, Glass, Steel and Latex Dimension: L105cm x W55cm x H13cm https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/H2934930438965300094919659381959/DSC07169.jpg Title: Captured Form Year: 2026 Medium: Jesmonite, Glass, Steel and Latex Dimension: L105cm x W55cm x H13cm https://hongruzhang.com/captured-form-detailed 2026-05-13T15:41:16+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/U2935062026803454797971770991815/DSC07158.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/E2935062027043262470929995162823/DSC07175.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2935062027080155959077414266055/DSC07403.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/I2935062027061709215003704714439/DSC07383.jpg https://hongruzhang.com/core 2026-05-13T15:41:16+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/X2935055001563888510499843105991/Core01.jpg Title: Core Year: 2026 Medium: Jesmonite, Glass, Steel and Latex Dimension: L73cm x W10cm x H8cm https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/K2935055074852802715347891676359/Core02.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/V2935055100641350930393844835527/Core03.jpg https://hongruzhang.com/core-detailed 2026-05-13T15:41:16+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/U2935055140264957200721961706695/DSC07290.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/M2935055184389569025035209172167/DSC07314.jpg https://hongruzhang.com/morph-i 2026-05-13T15:41:16+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/D2935074556016497102236324095175/DSC07361.jpg Title: Morph I Year: 2026 Medium: Jesmonite, Steel and Latex Dimension: L37cm x W30cm x H13cm https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/E2935074556366985239636805575879/DSC07362.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/V2935074556385431983710515127495/DSC07367.jpg https://hongruzhang.com/morph-ii 2026-05-13T15:41:16+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/F2935076198311675240523994916039/DSC07374.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/I2935076197832059894607546574023/DSC07372.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2935076198330121984597704467655/DSC07380.jpg Title: Morph II Year: 2026 Medium: Jesmonite, Steel and Latex Dimension: L38cm x W15cm x H16cm https://hongruzhang.com/fission-0-00-000 2026-05-13T15:41:16+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2935080048497651561107898655943/Fission-000-.jpg Title: Fission 0-00-000 Year: 2025 Medium: Plaster, Steel and Latex Dimension: L39cm x W33cm x H10cm L50cm x W40cm x H15cm L62cm x W43cm x H20cm https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Y2935080047999589471117740762311/Fission-0-.jpg Title: Fission 0-00-000 Year: 2025 Medium: Plaster, Steel and Latex Dimension: L39cm x W33cm x H10cm L50cm x W40cm x H15cm L62cm x W43cm x H20cm https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/U2935080048479204817034189104327/Fission-00-.jpg Fission 0-00-000 This work presents the body’s interface as a site where its elements are mutually drawn together and tightly bound. Through the contrasts of latex, plaster, and iron, skin and bone continually adhere and merge into a single form—stretching at points of contact, breaching invisible barriers, and moving through struggle and extension—until a subtle, silent fission brings forth a new contour. By placing disparate textures in tension, the piece reveals the push and pull between protection and exposure, surface and structure, inviting viewers to confront the boundaries of the self and its capacity for transformation. https://hongruzhang.com/monster-farm-untitled 2026-05-13T15:41:16+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/K2935168396761869119349412226247/DSC07203-copy.JPG https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/J2935168521609433010215657563335/111w.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/K2935168611721777810286817207495/DSC07395-copy.JPG Title: Untitled Year: 2025 Medium: Latex Dimension: Various https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/L2935169172668818347720572298439/DSC07311-copy.JPG https://hongruzhang.com/mutation,-part-of-me 2026-05-13T15:41:16+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/G2420081271913420727764814030023/IMG_5374.JPG Title: Mutation, part of me Year: 2025 Medium: Steel, Latex and Fabric Dimention: Various https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/X2420090230187298499260655756487/IMG_1658.jpg Mutation, part of me depicts an internal shift that is hard to see: slow growth, expansion, and the formation of new shapes. You have the bones of the human body, but something new starts to form, neither entirely foreign nor familiar.I don’t show mutation as a split, more a continuation. The image is about an internal process of becoming. I overlay organic texture onto staged imagined anatomy. Maybe also we can see that change is not what separates us from ourselves, but it’s just another way of being ourselves. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/V2420090423195581742483694314695/IMG_1657.jpg Title: Mutation, part of me Year: 2025 Medium: Steel, Latex and Fabric Dimention: Various https://hongruzhang.com/profile 2026-05-13T15:41:16+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/B2232315561452512308366566828636/Professor-Georgette-Theyskens.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/K2324868579115223847310044062919/21.jpg
