Jiayue Yu is an artist from China that uses photography, 3D modeling, and video as her main form of mediums. She was born in Nanjing, China in 1995 and would get her bachelors degree from the Art Institute of Chicago in 2017. Now based in Shanghai, Yu incorporates elements of literature and her own life experiences that explore close-relationships and emotions. I found her In Retrospective photo series mind-blowing; where Yu places herself in these stage-sets that reflect on the ideas of time, longing, and distance.

Lin Zhipeng, also known as (No. 233) was who born in Guangdong, China in 1979, is a photographer and a writer based in Beijing. Graduating from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, he is a big figure of Chinese photography that has been rising in the past decade. His work is a diary of the young generation trying to escape of the high pressures of society and plays with the boundaries of it. The Chinese artists fills his photos with a sense of carefreeness and joyful innocence. I found myself staring at his Flowers and fruit series for quite some time. I love the way 233 uses flowers, the environment, and people to give a sense of freedom, love, and joy all throughout the series. His work reminds me on of one of my favorite photographers, Ren Hang, who I would also check out if you have the time!
