About
the artist
Henry Wong is a behavioral artist who is in tuned with his insecurities.
Living in a society that demands others to be accountable for the self’s inability to regulate its own mood, Henry argues that we are living in a world that encourages mental agitations to manifest within ourselves so that we can artificially “feel alive” while pretending we’re not doing so.
Society capitalizes on our insecurities as leverage to condition us into our current social norms. Henry believes that this is accomplished by promoting the delusional belief of idealism.
Idealism dictates that realism is meant to cave to our feelings because we are self-important and are individually endowed with being the main character of existence.
Such irrational beliefs render us impulsive and disables our ability to cope with life through cognitive will, making us emotionally needy and dependent on others to sell us a solution rather than invoking upon our own abilities to create our own solutions to self regulate.
Henry’s art sheds light on this phenomenon in hopes that others can develop the same awareness as he has.
