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.
The tolerance of homosexuality in Chinese society is gradually expanding, but it remains a strange and potentially taboo topic. As a vulnerable group, constrained by traditional morality and secular vision, the Chinese homosexuals are striving hard for the construction of their social identity. Taking “The Voice of Heart” as the exhibition theme, I hope society can hear the demands of love and diversity. The road to equality has never been smooth, but art and culture may help to change people’s views and promote social acceptance.
中国社会对同性恋的宽容度正在一点点地扩大，但它依然是一个陌生而有着潜在禁忌的话题。在传统道德与世俗眼光的制约下，作为弱势群体的中国同性恋者正在为自己社会身份认同的构建而努力拼搏。以“The Voice of Heart”作为展览主题名称，希望社会能够听到爱和多元的诉求。通往平等的道路从来不是平坦的，艺术和文化可能有助于改变人们的观点，促进社会接受度。
