This artist relates to the ideas associated with art and globalism. This artist builds spaces that resemble tea houses, temples and national monuments. She uses eastern and western languages. As an artist she is fusing together cultures and languages from all over the global community. Wenda Gu looks "head to a utopian moment when all humankind's deliberating differences will be erased". (Eleanor Heartney)
