Yucen (Echo) Liu is a sculptor and multidisciplinary spatial designer based in Shanghai and London. In her three years of studies at RMIT in Melborne and one year of RCA, Yucen aims to weave themes like home, wanderers, and belonging in society into her work. The dichotomy between dwelling and displacement, along with the longing for connection and identity in a fragmented world, are central elements in her vision.

 

The work The Unsealed explores the transient and fluid nature of home as a concept. By using discarded door locks and wall fragments, Yucen invites viewers to reflect on home not just as a physical place, but as an emotional and spiritual space of belonging. Meanwhile, Chair 01 symbolizes the passage of time and impermanence through the changing patterns of rust, highlighting our deeper connection to everyday objects.

 

Through the decay, transformation, and reconstruction of these objects, Yucen’s works inspire viewers to reflect on their relationship with the world in the face of change and fragmentation. This dialogue extends beyond the material realm, touching on emotions and identity—each piece suggesting a symbiotic relationship between people, objects, spaces, and the self.
