Born in Taichung, Taiwan, Yu-Ting is a London-based visual artist and curator with a fine art background. Her work spans murals, paintings, films, and multimedia projects, exploring imagery and cultural boundaries inspired by Buddhist concepts, particularly emptiness. She questions transformation within the infinite possibilities that are held in the contemporary context of emptiness. With a Fine Art background and an MA in Digital Direction from the Royal College of Art, she has established herself in creative environments across London, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
