Xu(許) Ke(可) Ying(盈) is a visual representation of my identity through the exploration of language and culture. The work raises awareness on the lack of cultural knowledge people share in contemporary society, perhaps due to ignorance or the downplay of language as a form of communication. Here, I use my cultural background as an advantage to share knowledge about Chinese calligraphy. I invite the audience as a participant member to write my Chinese name three times consecutively using traditional Chinese calligraphy ink and paper. I found that participants wrote the brushstrokes incorrectly, the characters gradually become illegible or unreadable.
