“China is a sleeping giant. Let China sleep. For when he wakes, the world will tremble”.

Napoleon Bonaparte.

Ren’s practice investigates masculinity and privilege in politic, gender and queer forms. Inspired by Taoist observation in his work with found objects/ready-mades, Yong believes all materials can flow. Yong articulates his ideas so they will resonate across cultures.
