Blend In: Echoes is a continuation of my Blend In series reflecting on experiences with social anxiety. For me, social anxiety isn't just about bracing for the next awkward moment; it's also like my brain has a highlight reel of past social flubs that it loves to replay at the most inconvenient times. Seemingly out of nowhere, these random memories of slightly embarrassing encounters or moments I'd rather forget pop up like unwelcome guests. These mental reruns con-tribute to a persistent background hum of "what if" and "oh no." The sculptures in this exhibition playfully explore this phenomenon, each piece attempting to capture the quirky and sometimes absurd ways these unexpected mental intrusions can echo in the present. - Calvin Ma
