Hi There!


My name is Yaquan Wei, a graphic designer based in Shenzhen, with a strong interest in branding, packaging, typography and UI/UX. I graduated from the Academy of Art University with a master’s degree in San Francisco.

I’m curious about design and the world around me, which makes me keen to explore things beyond their surfaces, to explore subtle details as well as the overall situation. I take delight to try new things and get design inspiration from unexpected sources. I hope that you can see the world through my perspective reflected in my works.

INFO

Before We Become "us"
在我们成为我们之前


At May 20 this year, Okamoto worked with Zhang Jiacheng, a photographer on a series of works, exploring emotions, displaying the relationships, and unraveling non-standard intimate contexts. There's always a clue before we become "us". And it's often these elusive things that are life-inspiring.
Before a relationship between a man and woman is established, it often needs to go into an uncertain stage, which may involve temptation, emotional entanglement, fantasy, adaptation, and a show of suspicion. After rounds of adaptation between the man and woman, we end up becoming the unique "us".

今年520，冈本与摄影师张家诚合作了一系列作品，讨论情绪，示范关系，层层拆解非标准亲密语境。在我们成为“我们”之前，总有蛛丝马迹。而往往是这些无法捉摸的，启发生命。

在两性关系的确定之前，常常需要经过一个不确定阶段，这里面可能包含着试探、纠缠、幻想、磨合与猜疑……在一次又一次的来往磨合中，我们才终于成为独一无二的我们。
