Ziyin Yang
London
Summary
I am a spatial designer and visual artist working across scenography, fashion construction, and conceptual visual images. My practice explores the intersection of body, object, and narrative architecture—constructing scenographic systems that blend physical architecture with narrative image-making.
Digging into fashion and material experimentation, my work uses constructed space as a medium to question identity, fragmentation, and postmodern aesthetics. I create immersive environments that are both emotionally charged and formally precise, drawing from a visual language that merges darkness, texture, and light intervention.
I am seeking to contribute to studios and collaborators that engage with space as a performative, symbolic, and affective language—where material dramaturgy and visual tension converge.
