Bio
MengLing Hsieh was born and raised in Taiwan, an energetic and dynamic place that continues to affect her life and art. She discovered her love of photography when studying Arts and Cultural Management at Pratt Institute in New York. After earning a masters degree at Pratt, she worked at a fashion showroom and during this time she started photographing extensively. Her passion for photography led her to the General Studies program at the International Center of Photography (ICP). She completed her study at ICP in June 2008. She has traveled extensively around the world and is currently working as a freelance photographer, splitting her between New York and Asia.

Artist Statement:
In Adrift, I am trying to convey the confusion and uncertainty that my Taiwanese friends experience while living in New York City, pursuing their dreams yet still yearning to go back to Taiwan, the place that is home. I attempt to isolate my subjects in the context of their daily lives, emphasizing a tentative mood of transition. These images are like a flow of film stills, which let viewers project themselves into the ambiguities of these intimate spaces.
