Curatorial note:
A ghostly pair emerges at the bottom edge of Crossing the Hudson River, their silhouettes soft and wavering beneath a scrim of crosshatched lines that mimic both the warp of textile and the grain of memory. The figures, He Gong the artist and his horse traverse not just water, but time, nation, and narrative. The paper’s frayed edges evoke archival fragility, while the sepia tonality and blurred skyline suggest a mythologized New York, suspended between presence and disappearance. This is an affective geography of exile and reunion, where history appears not as monument, but as impression—fleeting, intimate, and unresolved.
