About
王 翊竹 Yizhu Wang (Dahlia_Yizhu) is currently studying Print and works across books, illustration, and installation.
As an interdisciplinary artist and illustrator, she draws the world with a deliberately clumsy, honest touch, using images to measure the distance between memory and reality. Her practice aims to break habitual ways of seeing and encourage viewers to reconsider the emotions that are often overlooked.
