Hi! This is Yongjia Wang.
This website is a compilation of moments in my life that I feel are worth sharing: art works, photos, journeys, anecdotes… etc. No matter what led you to this website, whether a link or if you just happen to stumble across this page, feel free to explore and enjoy!
turritopsis dohrnii
The turritopsis dohrnii is my art project, named after turritopsis dohrnii, the immortal jellyfish, from which my visual inspirations came from. The central concept of this art project is the expression of death as a concept of binary opposition, where every new death creates new life. Aspects of stoicism, where death is viewed as a neutral event that happens in everyday life, are also included.
Part one (pt1) of this project is a installation art made on a pure white dress form. Part two (pt2) is, at this moment, still a work in progress and it expands on part one and remakes the installation art into a wearable art piece.
photography
My collection of photographs are also included in this website.
Although I have never studied photography, it is a hobby I have persisted over many years, whether at home or on vacation, whether using my camera or phone.
Feel free to explore these snippets of my life!
