Mengzhu Jiang (b. 1994, Dalian, China) is an artist, photographer, and designer. After receiving her architecture degree from The University of Melbourne, she trained with renowned architects Kazuyo Sejima & Ryue Nishizawa, Bjarke Ingels and Ma Yansong. In addition to her creative work she teaches at Swinburne University, School of Design and Architecture. Her experience in architecture developed her sensibility in articulating and curating atmosphere through visual representation, complementing her storytelling practice today.
She approaches creativity with openness, empathy, and honesty. Through this state of being, she accesses moments of shared truth that allow her to form meaningful connections with the people and spaces in her work. She recounts these moments using photographs and words that reflect back to the world feelings of peace, introspection and resonance.
