Ruoyi Shi 石若宜 (b.1996) is an interdisciplinary artist working with objects, writings, performances, and video installations.
Inspired by folklore, oral history, mythology, and personal memory, she combines humor and fiction to construct her own poetic narratives. Through her practice, Ruoyi plays a world-building game with the figures and creatures she invents. She also invites audiences to participate in her alternative reality.
