For over a decade, Yi has been merging the technosphere with the biosphere in her art, creating works that are both provocative and deeply resonant. She has captivated the global art community not just through visual appeal, but through what she terms the “biopolitics of the senses”—an exploration of how sensory experiences are shaped by cultural and biological forces. Utilizing organic and ephemeral materials such as bacteria, scents, and tempura-fried flowers, Yi delicately captures the nuances of human emotion and sensation. By meditating on the fragile yet resilient interdependence of life, she underscores the shared stakes that connect all living forms, embedding existential questions of life, death, and decay into her work.
