Yanyi He

Interstellar Dreams | 2025

A vivid and immersive deep-space collection in which Yanyi He invites the viewer to peer into luminous thresholds of the unknown.

Interstellar clouds and celestial formations expand across the void, unfolding as meditative visions of scale, motion, and light.

A celestial series

The works evoke the vast architecture of nebulae, the slow turbulence of cosmic dust, and the quiet immensity of galactic space. Dreamlike yet precise, these compositions balance intimacy with awe, contemplations on beauty, distance, and the sublime.

One striking image departs from abstraction: a solitary astronaut stands on an alien moon, gazing toward a vast gaseous planet. The moment is hushed and human, anchoring the cosmic within lived experience.

Exploring the alchemy behind these cosmic images reveals the magic of the medium itself.

Liquid photography

Situated within experimental photography and camera-based mixed media, Yanyi He’s practice combines material spontaneity with rigorous photographic control.

His process involves carefully composed interactions between pigment, colour ink, solid carbon dioxide (dry ice), and reactive materials, layered on glass plates. Under controlled conditions, these elements bloom, fracture, and transform, brief, unrepeatable performances shaped by physics and chance.

The final works are not digital constructions, but photographic records of real, ephemeral events: liquid and light suspended in motion.

Available to collectors in a limited edition release, Interstellar Dreams | 2025 presents a rare and immersive encounter with the celestial unknown.
