In Facts Are Bigger in the Dark, Z.T. Nguyễn’s acrylic and graphite drawings on tiled paper sheets capture the transient nature of paper, reflecting movement, memory, and the fragility of identity. The works evoke nighttime atmospheres of uncertainty, where dreamscapes merge with the elicit and mystical, exploring the queer diasporic experience. Nguyễn’s colors resist easy classification, and their imagery hovers between waking and dreaming, transforming personal and political histories into poetic, haunted visions.
