About
Yuanhui Wang is a graphic designer and visual artist from Beijing, China.
Her creative practice encompasses installation art, layout design, and writing. She explores contemporary life experiences through narrative and speculative means. Her core themes include materiality, identity, and liminality. For her, the earth and the city are materials that she incorporates into her creative process. Each work has its ideal mode of presentation, and she strives to present it in the simplest yet most effective way.
In Between 2024 40x40x40cm Acrylic, mirror, driftwood, fog machine Have you ever felt like you are stuck in between something, like being in a room filled with mist? This installation explores themes of identity, transition, and growth. The artist utilises the symbols of mist and driftwood to visualise the liminal psychological states experienced by migrants during cultural adaptation. Visitors are invited into a liminal space, facing a transparent box containing driftwood and a mirror. Mist represents the transient obstacles in the intermediate state, while driftwood symbolises the traveller's quest for stability and belonging. As the mist clears, revealing one's reflection alongside the driftwood, the installation offers a metaphor for finding clarity and self-discovery amidst change. It encourages embracing the potential of the unknown and the unseen, highlighting the resilience and beauty in transitional states. The piece has been exhibited at Brompton Cemetery and Asylum Chapel in London.
