Fengyao Yang

Besides language, there are many ways to express feelings and thoughts. In each of my photographs, I’m trying to express the inexpressible. They come from instinct and unconsciousness. We can use our eyes, facial expressions, and even organs to convey every nuance of emotion. Cravings, struggles, squeezes, touches, and the sense of restraint are primitive and unadorned. A picture can be felt differently by different people. What you see can be what you see.
