Jinny Yu’s paintings use geometric forms to examine ideas of belonging and place and the shifting roles of guest and host. She creates room-like spaces using cuboid shapes in her abstract work that appear to fold, flip, invert, and reconfigure, offering a visual reminder of how perspectives can change with subtle variations of tone or colour. Having lived in many parts of the world, she shares the complex and personal nature of feeling connected within a place, a concept which is different for everyone and shaped by life experience.
