About 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.
