ABOUT

Yuyu R. Yamashita (b. 2003) explores themes of vulnerability, connection, and emotional distance—particularly the tension between the desire to be seen and the instinct to withdraw. She primarily works with oil paint and charcoal, drawn to the way they support ongoing adjustment and patient reflection throughout the process.

Her paintings often feature solitary figures in quiet, introspective moments. Through this approach, she aims to create a space where viewers can reflect on their own inner experiences. Making art becomes both a personal process of navigating emotion and a way of inviting others to do the same.
