Overview

Z.T. Nguyễn (they/he, b. 1997, Vietnamese-American; Yale MFA 2025) probes the charged space between stasis and rupture through nocturnal, pseudo-mythological drawings on folded 8.5×11” sheets. These portable works become carriers of migrant and queer thresholds, transforming everyday material into vessels of suspended potential and desire.
