Los Angeles–based artist Su Yu-Xin presents her first solo museum exhibition outside Asia, exploring the materiality of color by transforming natural and synthetic materials into pigments.

The exhibition features new works that explore amorphous and seemingly invisible substances with tangible foundations, offering a novel way to understand the interconnectedness of our world.
