Yi-Fei Chen is a versatile artist and designer who, in her fellowship at Zuid. Boijmans Van Beuningen, investigates how objects can empower people by combining psychology, creative thinking and self-expression. She guides participants in designing their own personalized objects, allowing them to not only express their creativity but explore new perspectives on themselves as well. Chen will also continue her previous theme of tears and develop a new work related to Tear Gun, her artwork acquired by the museum in 2022.
During the 2016 Dutch Design Week, she showcased Tear Gun, a device designed to collect and freeze real tears. Chen conceived this symbolic artwork to illustrate her personal challenge of expressing her thoughts and feelings.
