“The overarching themes in Ross’s oeuvre form a catalogue of the human experience: innocence and loss; courage and fear; bitterness and beauty; hubris; the resilience of and disenchantment of individuals and a people.” Viewers may find the word “catalogue” used by the guest curator Joshua Chuang, who put together the retrospective exhibition of Judith Joy Ross’s photography, an apt concept to make sense of Judith Joy Ross’s portraiture works. Loose, quiet, but penetrating, Ross’s portraitures of normal people in their daily life stand apart, as individual dots unconnected via a unified narrative.
