Artist biography
Chinese-Canadian specializing in womenswear, Yvonne Lin holds a MA in design from the Royal College of Art and a Graduate Diploma from Central Saint Martins in London. Theatre, performance, body-art constantly inspired and nourish Lin’s design and artwork. She sees design and artwork as a form of expression and seeks to translate visuals into the whole gamut of emotions. Her practice is one of visual language, which transcends disciplinary boundaries, and encompasses accessories, footwear, installation, potteries, stills, and film towards the ultimate visual objective.

CONFRONTATION
Practice 1:
In therapy and meditation, a mirror is a useful medium for self-reflection. Mirror work reveals the expected reflections and unexpected discoveries of oneself. We all carry many misconceptions and criticisms about oneself. The two most prominent human emotions, fear, and love, will reflect on the mirror, examine one’s emotions, question one’s fear, accept one’s love.
DIAGLOGUE
Practice 2:
A dialogue with oneself, a moment that one can embrace the totality of one’s emotions to oneself. No need to worry about what others think and self-dissect them. Sometimes the answer is within the conversations. Reparation has also used the meditation to correct old thinking and shift to new thinking. Usually was suggested to repeat for a minimum continuous period of 21 days.
FORGIVENESS
Practice 3:
Forgiveness and letting go, forgive oneself and forgive others, dispel the mythconceptions about oneself and others. Redefine the past reality, let go of the past, break the limiting believes, and expand one’s perception, and one can manifest a new nourishing beginning and ongoing.
