This work is created under the name of "Watermelon Sisters" in collaboration with Taiwanese artist, Yu Cheng-ta.

---

In 2017, Yu Cheng-Ta and Singaporean artist Ming Wong created a performance duo Watermelon Sisters. In the performances, they take on their alter-egos, the Watermelon Sisters - gender-fluid butch/femme ghetto spiritual sistas who want to help humankind to ‘twerk’ their way to sexual freedom.

The video "Watermelon Love" commemorated the first major survey of LGBTQ - themed art in Asia, “Spectrosynthesis,” and celebrated Taiwan’s high court ruling to approve same-sex marriage.

With this work, they referenced Chinese historical dramas, ancient Chinese myths, western drag culture and the queer night life scene to create iconic images and use the watermelon as a metaphor for queer (juicy) desire and fluidity.
