lost & found | Mar 14- 28, 2026

Lost and Found presents Weiling Pan’s psychologically layered exploration of identity through a fictional character who awakens in an unfamiliar world without memory. Forced to reconstruct a sense of self from fragments and encounters, the figure navigates questions of origin, agency, and becoming.

Pan approaches identity not as fixed or inherited, but as provisional and constructed. The “lost” signals the destabilization of narrative; the “found” emerges through active reconstruction. Storyboards, video documentation, and finished works trace this evolving journey, while a contribution board invites viewers to respond—transforming the exhibition into a collective inquiry.

Embracing uncertainty as generative, Lost and Found suggests that identity is continually rewritten—and asks what remains within our power as we choose who to become.

Weiling Pan is a multidisciplinary artist working in collage and illustration. Born in China and raised in the United States, her experience as an immigrant deeply informs her exploration of identity, memory, and emotional storytelling. Blending traditional and digital techniques, she creates layered visual worlds that reflect personal growth, transition, and human connection. Inspired by internet culture and everyday life, Weiling often incorporates recurring characters—such as a robot figure—symbolizing resilience and self-discovery. Weiling held her first solo exhibition at Kean University in 2025, and her work has also been shown at Art on Paper NYC.
