Melissa Tan’s debut solo exhibition at Haridas Contemporary features fi”een new works, continuing her exploration of goddesses and their chapters in mythology. Each work posits a scene unfolding around an earthbound goddess. Featuring seven wall-bound works and eight #ee-standing sculptures, each intricate piece portrays a goddess shielding herself with a resilience in overcoming and accepting insurmountable circumstances.
Re-interpreting the works alongside Melissa’s installations, writer Euginia Tan provides eight inspired poems encapsulating the shields and triumphs against the labyrinthine nature of past and present obstacles. An immersive blend of art and text, Of Labyrinths & Shields pays tribute to a feminist, mythical landscape of higher beings fixated and burdened by earthly desires.
