Hyun Young Yang is an interdisciplinary artist born in South Korea. Yang expands her artistic reach beyond the two-dimensional space of canvas to interactive art.
Her artistic practice started from realizing that the visible world is only a fraction of our comprehensive existence. Such realization expanded to a profound investigation of human existence and essence. The quest excited her passion for visually manifesting inherent meanings in human life based on her personal experiences. Through this, she has developed a profound interest in not only the depiction of observable realities but also in articulating imperceptible facets of ourselves.
She has expanded to the exploration of the intangible aspects of our being and the possibilities of self-reflection through an interactive sense. By exploring the essence of embracing self-reflection and interactivity, mirrors became a dynamic tool to represent psychological and emotional states and made it possible to express imperceptible human facets. She has been integrating the new materials with visual strategies, like distortion and reflection, to disrupt the audience's perception and vision and provoke contemplation on life trajectories.
