Kangyue Zhang ​
Is an Artist based in UK.
Kangyue Zhang , a Chinese artist born in Japan, graduate from MFA Photography at University for the Creative Arts in 2024. She is influenced by Japanese aesthetics ‘ Mono-aware’ and ‘ Wabi Sabi’, she unconsciously captures the vulnerability of beauty in objects, using sound, sketch, image and text to present her perception of the material and immaterial. The lapse of time has obliterated the memories which lie hidden in the mind, but objects or places which have not changed in the course of time are invariably recalled with intense emotion. The works "Noon Break" and “The Negative Space of Photo” become ways to respond to emotions and reflect on modern urban life as a form of recollection.
