Yuyu He
is an artist and architect based in New York and Shanghai. Her works respond to our built environments and investigate how perception is shaped through lived spatial experience. Focused on the disordered rhythms of a city, she isolates architectural outliers from both interior and exterior structures to explore how lived spaces are felt and misremembered.
