Yi Zhang(b. 1996, China) is a visual artist currently living in the Netherlands and Belgium.My work often takes the form of installations or performances, using simple materials and everyday objects to create a sense of familiarity and comfort.
I am drawn to the gaps in different situations, those moments where something is left unspoken or unacknowledged. I seek to make these invisible parts visible, creating soft gestures and intimate situations as a verbless language to communicate and connect.
