This painting “Things I’m Bad At” from 2023 contains a key at the bottom to match the colors with aspects of the artist’s personal life.

Kuo uses mathematical rules to visualize human experience. The hard edge accuracy of the proportionality of the colors gives the illusion that the complex nature of the emotions described at the bottom of the canvas can expressed so directly.

As a counter point to “Things I’m Bad At” , this next painting is “Things I’m Good At” also from 2023.
