Description +-

A taekwondo champion, a dancer, an activist, a child.

Kyal Sin was barely 20 years old when she was brutally murdered on 3rd March 2021, during the clash between the militants and activists in Burma. She was shot in the head by the militants during the demonstrations that the public was holding against the military coup, which brought the Tatmadaw into power. Her tender age, which was full of possibilities, was extinguished all of a sudden.

“In memory of Kyal” is an ode to the youthfulness, vigour and passion that Kyal and her compatriots displayed for their motherland, their cause and their lives. Many young Burmese have joined hands to demonstrate against the barbaric regime of the Tatmadaw in the past few years, and many of them have fallen to the brutality of the militia. "In Memory of Kyal" is an ode to their courage and their dedication to their country.

In this painting, Soe Yu Nwe narrates a world that is going through a violent shift and transition. Ropes, which symbolise signs of captivity and confinement, have been fragmented and abstracted into the shape of a star in reference to Kyal Sin's name, which translates to “Pure Star”. Fragments of the snake's body that is wrapped around the peacock represent alienation, confusion and psychological confinement about living as a female in an oppressive society. However, despite the destabilised reality, the artist casts hope by adopting a bright palette and plentiful of botanics (Padauk) which represent renewal.

Artist +-

Soe Yu Nwe (b. 1989)

Soe Yu Nwe is an artist from Myanmar. After earning a MFA degree in Ceramics at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 2015, Soe has been participating in numerous residencies in the United States and across Asia. Her experience of living cross-culturally has inspired her to reflect upon her own identity through making, conceiving it as a fluid, fragile and fragmented entity. Through transfiguration of her emotional landscape by poetically depicting nature and body in parts, she ponders the complexities of individual identity in this rapidly changing globalised society.

Soe’s work has been exhibited internationally. Her exhibitions includes the 9th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (Australia), 2018 Dhaka Art Summit (Bangladesh), The New Taipei City Yingge Ceramic Museum (Taiwan), Yavuz Gallery (Singapore), ZieherSmith in Chelsea, New York (USA), and National Gallery of Indonesia, Jakarta (Indonesia). Soe has become an invited member of IAC (International Academy of Ceramics) as the first member from Myanmar. Soe was named in 2019 Forbes 30 Under 30: Art & Style. Recently, Soe has been selected as the finalist for the 2022 ASEAN residency and awarded Reconnect Grant from Goethe Institute. Her upcoming exhibitions include “KONNECT ASEAN Art on Paper” exhibition at ASEAN Culture House in Busan (Korea) and a solo exhibition at Goethe Institute (Myanmar) in 2022.

Soe’s work has been acquired by the Queensland Art Gallery & Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, Australia.
