Wishing for Harmony is a 20 x 16-inch acrylic painting that explores the theme of Fractured Narratives. The piece features a stack of stone towers, each representing a different culture and ethnicity, symbolizing the strength found in diversity. The careful balance of these towers reflects the fragility of societal harmony. Each element contributes to the whole, yet even the smallest misalignment could lead to collapse. The background is painted in vibrant shades of purple and pink, visually representing the clash of emotions and the changing cityscape. These colors reflect the tension between an uncertain future and nostalgia for the past, capturing the complexity of modern life. Through a mix of realistic and abstract techniques, the painting invites viewers to contemplate the interconnectedness of human experiences in a posthuman city. The choice of colors, textures, and composition highlights the tension between individual identity and the need for community. To display this piece effectively, enough wall space, proper lighting, and secure installation are needed.

About the Artist

Nahee Jung

I’m Nahee Jung, an 11th-grade student at Emma Willard School in Troy, NY. As an artist, I use acrylic paint to explore human rights, identity, and collective memory. My work reflects how personal stories intersect with broader societal issues, often focusing on overlooked narratives. In my past works, I’ve explored the impact of cultural heritage and the emotional complexities of societal change. I’ve used vibrant colors and textures to reflect how history and identity are intertwined in our shared experiences. I believe art can provoke important conversations and inspire social change.

My current body of work aligns with the theme Fractured Narratives, capturing the tension between nostalgia for the industrial past and anxiety about speculative futures. Through my art, I aim to reflect the fragile balance between remembering the past and navigating a rapidly changing world. This theme resonates with my belief that art can reveal fractured histories and encourage a deeper understanding of how personal and collective identities evolve through time.
