About
I’m Yimei Tang, a graduate of the communication design major at Syracuse University, born and raised in Beijing and now based in New York. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in the book industry, I spent my childhood surrounded by stories in my parents’ book warehouse. That environment sparked my imagination and instilled a lifelong passion for storytelling and culture. My design philosophy is centered on bringing diverse cultural perspectives into my work. I view design as a powerful tool to bridge cultures, foster understanding, and challenge conventional thinking. I strive to create work that is thought-provoking and reflective of the world around me.
Chopsticks, a tool with profound influence on East Asian food culture, have a long history and carry rich traditions and dining etiquette. However, in today’s fast-paced urban environments, the cultural significance and proper use of chopsticks are slowly fading. As dining habits evolve and the way chopsticks are used diverges, we face the risk of losing an important part of our cultural heritage. This book aims to explore transformation by juxtaposing chopsticks with other objects in collages. Through this creative approach, we aim to raise awareness of the disappearance and distortion of chopstick culture, while also exploring innovative methods of cultural preservation and transmission.
