Lava Radiance Bloom Formation (2022) is a captivating series of paper collages that exemplifies Yang’s ability to transform traditional materials into contemporary art. Crafted from hanji, a traditional Korean paper made from mulberry bark, this series features geometric and floral motifs meticulously cut and folded to create intricate designs that evoke depth and spirituality.

Yang’s collages draw inspiration from shamanistic traditions in Korea, Japan and China,

incorporating symmetric patterns that create a mesmerizing visual effect. Despite their two-dimensional nature, these works convey a sense of complexity through layered compositions, inviting viewers into a mystical realm that blends cultural heritage with modern artistic expression.

Yang explores themes of identity, tradition and the interplay between the material and the spiritual.
