Vin is a random decision I made right before my journey to the US, in the summer of 2022 when I had to fill a bunch of formats with a blank called “preferred name”.  

Ye is another random decision made by someone else, tracing back to a considerable length of human history. For some irrelevant reason it passed down and became my last name.

Art is one of the few domains where my flaws, weakness and negative experience can be transferred into something valuable

I’m commited to none of the three above.

Ghosts in the city

2021
Semiconductor wafer installed in an abandoned site




I trespassed on an abandoned factory, bringing the product it used to produce back and making it fit into the space. The specific product is called semiconductor wafer (material used to produce IC chips and semiconductor), which is visually appealing and I see it as an embodiment of modern life. 

The idea was inspired by a not-well-known Japanese art concept named Hyperart Thomasson, which describes modern city as a fleeting phenomenon, hence some parts of it could become a piece of art in itself. It’s actually a common scenario in developing countries where architects are constantly taken down and rebuilt.
