Born in Beijing, China, raised in the United States and Canada, Xixi is a photographer with a

cross-cultural background. Through quiet yet deliberate compositions, her work explores the

unspoken pain of invisible conditions, drawing from her personal experience with scoliosis. She

often struggles to express her heaviest emotions, torn between the fear of burdening others and

the vulnerability of being misunderstood. Closely connected with art from a young age, she finds

a blank canvas or viewfinder far easier to face than people.

Xixi works across a broad range of mediums, including staged portraiture, alternative

photographic processes, 3D printing, and traditional art forms. By combining these approaches,

she expands the ways she can express messy emotions, balancing intimacy and experimentation.

She approaches art as a language that speaks where words falter, allowing her inner world to take

shape in unexpected ways.
