Faye Yingfei Liang
Faye Yingfei Liang is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores states of precarity, capturing the experience of living within liminal time and space. Trained as a photojournalist in mainland China, she developed a sustained interest in authoritarianism, social movements, and personal resilience—concerns she now translates into sculpture, performance, video, and social practice.
Her latest project, An Ideal Home on the Ideal Land, centers on a fundamental longing for stability and belonging. The artist constructs miniature cardboard houses based on her vision of comfortable, affluent living conditions. Yet scenes of war and bloodshed encroach upon these fragile structures, rupturing the illusion she attempts to create.
In her thesis exhibition, she will also present two social practice works, Building and Hug Drawing. Together, these projects pose a central question: are we merely components of a larger system, or do we have the capacity to enact change?
