Yuan Hsin-Yuan : Two Trees and a Flock of Birds: Solo Exhibition

BACK_Y is pleased to present Yuan Hsin-Yuan's solo exhibition Two Trees and a Flock of Birds, opening on May 21, 2026. Marking the artist's first solo presentation at BACK_Y, the exhibition brings together a new body of wooden sculptures that quietly reflect on intimacy, distance, and the subtle emotional tensions embedded within everyday human relationships.

Working primarily with camphor and birch wood, Yuan Hsin-Yuan transforms fleeting observations from daily life into restrained sculptural figures. Drawn from sketches of gestures, postures, and passing encounters, her works strip away overt narrative and expression, leaving behind contemplative forms that evoke states of solitude, memory, and emotional ambiguity.

Throughout the exhibition, warm wooden textures coexist with reflective surfaces and translucent, water-like imagery, constructing a space suspended between external reality and inner perception. Rather than presenting fixed narratives, Two Trees and a Flock of Birds invites viewers into a quiet emotional landscape shaped by moments of closeness, stillness, and distant observation.

09-20 May 2026 The gallery will be closed for exhibition changeover.
