Profile 


Keiying Yip’s practice delves into the shared emotions of sacredness, suffering, and transcendence of humanity within the framework of Buddhist philosophy, while also addressing the historical positioning and appropriation of Eastern religions. Through her exploration of cultural looting and religious revolutions, Yip interrogates how the meanings of objects are reshaped by external forces. Her work touches on the fluid nature of identity, power, and cultural exchange, revealing how objects once deemed sacred undergo transformation over time. Reflect on the authoritative significance these symbols held in different eras, while also acknowledging the enduring essence of their original spiritual purpose.

By reimagining ancient religious artifacts, Yip blends ancient making techniques, such as lacquerware, with forms of brainless organisms, exploring the shifting boundaries of faith and the sacredness of life. Foster a sense of community, where life’s vibrancy and unpredictability take prominence. Her work evokes the transience of life and the interconnectedness of all beings. Explores the uncanny nature of "self" and offers a glimpse into an alternate reality where non-human life momentarily adopts human qualities, challenging our understanding of identity and existence beyond our own species.
