Starry Kong is a Melbourne-based visual artist who was born in Kunming, China. She obtained a Bachelor's degree and an Honours degree in photography from RMIT University, Australia in 2019 and 2020. Starry is interested in the intangible and inexpressible sentiments that are characteristic to humankind. She explores this phenomenon through her own experiences of loss, grief, alienation and her long-term mental illness, which has become the foundation and origin of her creative practice. Starry uses photography as the primary medium to express her inner feelings and thoughts, while metaphor and symbolisation constitute her visual art language.
Starry Kong 出生於中國昆明，是一位生活在墨爾本的視覺藝術家。 她獲得了澳大利亞皇家墨爾本理工大學攝影學士學位和榮譽學位。 Starry著迷於人類所特有的、無法捉摸也無從表達的情感與心緒。 她通過自己的失去，痛苦，疏離，與長年抑鬱症的經歷來探索這種現象，並奠定了她創作實踐的基礎和根源。 Starry以攝影為主要媒介來表達她內心的感受和想法，而隱喻和象徵則成為了她的視覺藝術語言的重要構成。
