樊婧哲 Ginger Fan (b. 2002) grew up in Beijing and is currently based in New York. According to the Chinese agricultural calendar, she was born on Jingzhe, the third solar term, when insects awaken. It suits someone preoccupied with nature and the concealed structures of ecological time. Her work, often in the form of writing, video, and installation, considers predictions of inevitable scenarios, especially those involving natural disasters and the manipulation of frequency.

Recently, she has been drawn to objects and ideas that accumulate time as pressure, then release it without warning. This energy appears in seismic events, in the delayed violence of exhausted ecosystems, and in signals that arrive late but decisively. She thinks about this in relation to the notion of wrathful compassion in tantric Buddhism, where destruction functions not as moral conclusion, but as interruption: an alert, a forced exit from the comfort of repetition.
