𝘈𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘱𝘪𝘤 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 – 𝘖𝘯 𝘕𝘰𝘯-𝘊𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘝𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 (2012) extends Yang’s ongoing engagement with migration, displacement, and the politics of visibility. The monumental structure of aluminum blinds forms a vast, yet porous field where opacity and transparency shift with the viewer’s movement.

Through layers of color and light, Yang turns industrial materials into a meditation on coexistence and fragmentation. The towering composition evokes both accumulation and dispersal—resonating with her research into diasporic figures such as Korean-Japanese writer and academic 𝐒𝐮𝐡 𝐊𝐲𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐢𝐤 (1951–2023), whose reflections on displacement and transnational belonging profoundly influenced her.

Depending on one’s position, the blinds alternately reveal and conceal, creating a dynamic interplay between comprehension and loss, proximity and distance. Yang’s “non-cathartic” approach resists resolution, offering instead a suspended, ever-shifting experience of dispersion.
