As an artist, Yiwei’s work has been exhibited internationally, including Nanjing Powerlong Art Center, The Wallach Art Gallery, SVA Library, Nanjing University of Arts, Trieste Photo Days, and Open Air Art Project.
As a refrigerator, Yiwei aims to unfreeze time, to make it hers. She focuses on the man-altered and social landscape. Created by humans, left with traces of use, they become part of human society and the figurative representation of collective memory. Through the methodical composition, the deepest levels of emotion transfers into extreme restraint.
Yiwei holds an MFA in Visual Art from Columbia University, and an BFA in Photography and Video from the School of Visual Arts.
