Jingya Yang
I grew up around jade, so for me it has always been part of the everyday, not distant, not rare.
When people think of jade, they often imagine carved figures, animals, or symbolic forms. These familiar images shape how jade is expected to look and what it should represent.
In my work, I move away from these associations, focusing instead on the material itself, its internal structures, subtle variations, and forms that remain unresolved.
Starting from my own everyday, the work reflects on a broader condition: familiarity is shaped by repetition. What we take for granted is not fixed but something that can be quietly re-seen.
