The title of this exhibition, "An Atlas of the Difficult World," is adapted from the poetry collection of American feminist poet Adrienne Rich (1929-2012), titled "An Atlas of the Difficult World" (1991). In this collection, Rich portrays a world filled with various unsettling scenes, describing a landscape of "cracked earth" littered with "debris, remnants, and waste." Yet, these discarded elements serve as the "material" for poetry, reflecting the poet's exploration of difficult realities and the potential for transformation through artistic expression.
