Liu Jui-Yun’s artistic practice is a journey of walking and looking back—an intimate exploration of fleeting moments that often escape our attention: a silhouette turning away, the pause of waiting, the second just before disappearance. These residual fragments of memory reside not only in the eye but in the body, and it is from this subtle resonance that her works emerge.
She gravitates toward blurred boundaries—spaces that drift between emotion and narrative, where meaning resists definition. These ambiguous fragments become her language of preservation, forming visual sentences that speak quietly but insistently.
Liu employs a range of materials—colored pencils, oil-based pens, crayons, and acrylics—not as tools of precision, but as instruments of immediacy. Her marks are notes rather than polished renderings, capturing feelings before they fade. Her compositions often resemble collages, hand-drawn maps, or the kind of intimate messages one might exchange with someone close.
Through her work, Liu conjures a subtle sense of shared memory, inviting the viewer into a quiet recognition: you might have been there too. It is this emotional echo, both personal and collective, that lies at the heart of her visual language.
