Yuchen Xi (b. 2000, Tianjin, China) is an artist focusing on painting and drawing. She completed her BFA in Studio Art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the United States and is now working and traveling between China and the US.

She conceives of perception as a flexible, web-like extension that reaches outward to apprehend the surrounding world. Within this process, the material structure of the individual field becomes unstable, forming a language of continual self-dissolution—an experience of poetic detachment resonant with Bachelard’s notion of transcending subjectivity and with Conway's philosophical study. Here, essence and existence are not fixed or singular definitions, but mutable objects of ongoing understanding. This realization deepens her engagement with Buddhist thought, in which she traces the individual’s passage through cycles of impermanence within the Sahā world (understood as a field of continual flux, movement, and becoming with experiencing four moods).
