With its alliterative ring, MessyMsxi is not only memorable, it also hints at Zi Xi's belief that the creative process is inherently messy, that the truest works spring from moments of spontaneity and inspiration. Never one to stand still, Zi Xi constantly seeks new ways to express herself, exploring media and forms out of her comfort zone. Striving always for meaning in her work, she pushes beyond the decorative into the narrative, be it a personal view of a subject close to her heart, or an acute commentary on larger social issues.
