一的個人存在切片集 (Slices of Existence) unfolds across five hada—traditional Mongolian ceremonial fabrics offered to guests as symbols of welcome and respect. Each fabric carries a fragmented scene: pieces of furniture, heirlooms, windows, and views from the bedrooms Yi has inhabited from Yinchuan to Vancouver, Toronto, and Montréal. These domestic collages map a geography of movement, belonging, and transformation throughout Yi ’s life.
Overlapping these images are texts Yi wrote, personal reflections and pivotal moments spanning birth to death, layered, obscured, and re-emerging through the fabric. The hada becomes both document and shroud, gesturing toward questions of how a life is lived, how love is received and offered, and how solitude is faced.
Ultimately, 一的個人存在切片集 (Slices of Existence) is an act of soft archiving, a woven landscape where migration, intimacy, and the passage of time are recorded not through permanence, but through touch, translucency, and care.
