李佳烨
2002
Born in Johannesburg and currently based between London and Cape Town, Yolanda is a mixed-media artist who explores the digital realm as a reservoir of contradicting emotions. Through moving-image, collage, sound, and performance, she investigates the tension between pessimism and futurism. In her latest exploration, collaborative practices navigate narratives of collapse, weaving alternative visions of care and connection into a disillusioned world.
