Yayi Tan （Tanya Tan）
The real world and my virtual world are connected through “a mirror”.
The remaining and abundant space is used to hold the uneasiness, vulnerability, restlessness, and aggressiveness of my generation of youth.
The social environment I belong to has always been characterized by a variety of rules and dogmas.
Yet I have always believed that people's identities, their various attributes, are in a constant flow.
“Happiness and hope come from endless change and possibility”.
My design work is contextual and multifaceted.
Reality-virtual, clothing-music-room&space ......
It is a weapon I use to self-rationalize contradictions, embrace vulnerability, enjoy loneliness, and resist prejudice.
I hope to recruit more people of this generation into my world.
There are all kinds of different people here.
The vision is to accept and love ourselves with all our might.
