Yihan Pan is a London-based visual artist whose practice explores material transformation through the transient states of dust, water and light. Working across photography and installation, Pan uses microscopes and telescopes to move between macro and microscopic scales, examining how ephemeral forms hold traces of time and change. Pan seeks to reveal the lightness within fragility and the quiet persistence that endures beneath the world’s surface weight. Ten Thousand Drops of Rain studies raindrops as fragile units of measurement. Captured through high- speed photography and microscopic lenses, individual drops form a rhythm that ultimately collapses into pure phenomena. The sequence echoes ancient cosmology where one becomes two, two becomes three, and three begets all things. Yet as the image expands, the drop disappears. The more the world is measured, the more it recedes, revealing the limits of perception and control.

Yifei Cheng is an inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage Baisui Rubbing. Building on family traditions, Cheng preserves and develops the Qing dynasty Baisui Rubbing technique, integrating contemporary culture and creating a new artistic language for monument rubbings. Expertise includes Qin bricks and Han tiles, ancient coins and bronze mirrors, pottery fragments, brick carvings, wood and bronze sculpture, and religious statuary. Elements of Eastern civilisation carry forward the memories and crafts passed down by ancestors, supporting the present while pointing toward an undefined future. As human civilisation enters an age of uncertainty, the voice of what is to come remains open. The work traces a cultural continuum where past techniques, inherited wisdom, and unfolding futures meet in resonance.

Yichu Li is a London-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice evolves relationships between identity, power, and digital culture. Grounded in a techno-feminist perspective, Li’s work spans image-led installations, sound-based performances, and moving images. Drawing from mythology, cyber theory, and embodied resistance, Li creates poetic visual environments. YICHU 1.0 is a three-chapter experimental moving image work that explores protopian futures, digital embodiment and AI-mediated identity. Combining machine-generated visuals, layered soundscapes and speculative narration, the piece navigates fragmented realities and techno- mythic terrains. It reflects on how consciousness and selfhood transform in an algorithmic age. The work asks how emotional agency persists amid digital evolution.

Yido Yu is a London-based creative practitioner who combines traditional media with contemporary sensibility to capture aesthetic moments in daily life. The work explores the intersection of conventional techniques and modern perspectives, revealing artistic potential embedded within ordinary experiences. What I Overlooked encourages reflection on how daily activities employ skills and talent in unintentional artistic endeavour. Yido Yu invites reconsideration of what is often experienced as mundane or automatic during seemingly non-artistic tasks. These undertakings, while appearing simplistic and without challenge, encompass one or more abilities not readily recognised by those performing them.
