Hongjie Yang’s work is characterised by objects that exist in liminal states of being, capturing the ambiguity of multiple dualities within a single form. This approach is informed by an exploration of the analogies and interconnections between humankind, nature, and the cosmos, and by the premise of the universe constantly evolving as an implicit whole under the collective dynamics of explicitly opposed forces and processes. Yang studied in the USA and at Design Academy Eindhoven, the Netherlands, where he received a Master in Contextual Design in 2015. He is currently based in the Netherlands.
