Artist Statement
Yee Jia Ying is a multidisciplinary artist based in Singapore. Her works often explore the themes of vulnerability, mental health, and the beauty of overlooked moments in everyday life. She mainly works with photography but also incorporates drawing, printmaking, video art, and sound art to evoke raw emotions and to connect the audience to the artwork.
Regardless of the topic, her works often tried to tie back to her mental state, making image-making a personal affair.
Ultimately, her main goal in creating her works is to invite viewers to engage with their own emotions. Through the different mediums used in the works, her aim is to create spaces where the hidden aspects of our inner worlds can come to light.
