Yoyo Yu finds solace in stop-motion animation as a means to process and digest her emotions and thoughts. Her creative process involves using mixed media including clay, fabrics, and painting to build unique worlds within her animations. By shaping and sculpting her puppets, she infuses her memories into the clay. As she manipulates her puppets, along with the lighting and ambience frame by frame, she not only aims to replicate reality but also offer a fresh perspective on her intimate and honest narrative. Yoyo’s art strives to create a space where vulnerability is celebrated, and where the complexities of the human experience are embraced and understood.

Yoyo Yu (b. 2000) recently received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
