In Yang’s most recent body of work, he addresses society’s efforts to protect itself physically and psychologically against catastrophes natural and man-made, such as pollution, surveillance, quarantine and isolation, as well as religious and political intolerance. Found and used objects concurrently highlight the plenitude in our lives and metaphorically display twisted relationships marked by mutual dependence and conflict. With a touch of irony, Yang’s art invites viewers to become better acquainted with the dark side of human nature and to think outside the box in order to find a collective solution to save ourselves and our planet.
