Weiting Wei was born in Fujian, China. She received her MFA in visual art from Columbus College of Art&Design in 2018. She is a multimedia artist creating works out of paper, Wax, clay, and soap. In her work, the paper lotus is inspired by the lotus pods without seeds. It brings forth a feeling of being left out. These empty lotus pods reference the experience with postnatal depression. The wax is wrapped around the rice paper like a field for defense; it seems hard but fragile. The multiple sizes and the organic shapes of the work represent the fluctuating moods of a new mom.Other aspects of her work include the use of white porcelain to represent pregnancy, and the use of tinct rice paper to represent the muscle state around the cesarean incision. Her sculpture uses traditional elements to explore very personal, yet universal, experiences of motherhood.
