Yuqing Lai (b.1993), also as Lavita, a mixed media artist born and raised in Shenzhen, China. She completed her MA and Mres at the University of Goldsmiths, UK. Her practice has explored themes of subconsciousness, self-identity, and social roles, as well as relationships with the nature and the rhythm of rituals. Her works combine poetry and dreams, experimental film, performance and everyday objects to challenge and blur the boundaries between reality and illusion.
Through mixed media installation, she creates a sensory space for the audience to enter and experience art beyond visuals. Drawing inspiration from both Eastern and Western mythological beliefs and artistic traditions, her installations often incorporate found objects and natural materials, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between humanity and the natural world.
She works in mixed media installation, video, conceptual arts, painting, print making, performance, ceramic and photography. Her work has been exhibited internationally.
