CHAPTER 05 - SYNTROPY
Ye Zhu | Ye Zhu
Chapter 05 emerges from an ongoing dialogue between RETORI and Chinese American artist Ye Zhu, exploring ideas of connection, transformation and becoming.
Presented at Salotto Retori during Milan Fashion Week, Zhu’s works “Ego Decay” and “Death Before Dying and Rebirth Before Death”, reflect his exploration of materiality and spirituality, an approach to art and life as forms of cultivation, where experiences, emotions and memories are planted, transformed and ultimately brought into bloom.
