EILEEN ZHao

Eileen is a senior at Allendale Columbia School. She studied art since the age of 5 both in and outside of school, so she likes to describe art as her “second language”. She deeply believes that having a true passion, which is art, can keep her from boredom for the rest of her life. She loves to visit art museums, and she is also very interested in art history. She has strong passions for dimensional worlds, artificial intelligence, and everything that’s far from reality, which are reflected in her thesis project. Most of Eileen’s art is inspired by her imagination and originated from her curiosity. She also refers to her dreams a lot in her earlier works. She takes notes of the full details of her dreams if it is unrelated to reality because she somehow believes that she may use it in the future, either in scientific research that helps to disapprove her eccentric ideas or in more artworks that appear to be strange but meaningful to her, one way or the other.
