Wooden works, prints, 3D printed polymers
Organism of Becoming
2025
This series explores the unseen evolution of nature and the human body. Following a physical transformation, I merge flat data from medical scans with printed fragments of plants and my bodily organs. This process creates nonexistent landscapes that blur human, natural, and digital boundaries.
Nature is always in transition. It breaks down, recovers, and becomes something new, even when from the outside it appears almost unchanged. It is constantly evolving, much like the human body. When something is added or taken away, it shifts into another version of itself, changing, adapting, and regenerating beneath what we can see. The same happened to me. A part of me was removed, and I felt myself crossing into a new state, becoming something else, something more open to reinterpretation.
The inspiration came from medical body scans, where bodily information is captured as flat data. As nature is documented and scanned, I select the failed and supporting fragments of 3D-printed plants and body organs, forming them into nonexistent plants and landscapes that are a mixture of these intentional fragments.
Through repetition and de-territorialisation, the border between the human body and nature merges. This reveals how much occurs within unseen layers—inside the body, in nature, and within digital matter.
This series is part of the “Organism of Becoming” trilogy.
Yu-hsin is an artist and designer whose spatial and visual practice engages themes of nature, history, and authority through both manual and digital approaches. She focuses on overlooked everyday phenomena, using contrasts in materiality, tactility, and scale to bring under-acknowledged spaces into focus. Through these physical interventions, she translates complex metaphors into spatial forms that render invisible forces observable.
Originally from Taipei, Taiwan, she founded Studio The In-Between in Amsterdam for spatial and visual design commissions and autonomous research. She is also a member of the cultural organization Stichting Limestones Books, which curates an art book archive and hosts events to promote non-Western-centric perspectives and amplify underrepresented voices.
