Set in a surreal emotional stasis of the artist’s, Rawborg #2.22 makes contact with the human world for the first time, silently bearing witness to the artist’s heartbreak.

Assuming (2020) is the first video in Rawborg Series (2020-Current) and marks the artist’s shift from greenscreen collage to surrealism grounded in real-world environments. Filmed during quarantine, the work features Rawborg #2.22, a quiet guardian figure, as she surfaces during a witness to the artist’s emotional breakdown, initiating Wang’s move towards CGI-based methodologies.
