Liu Yucen, born in Xi'an, China in 2000, currently lives and works between Shanghai and London. She graduated from RMIT University (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) and the Royal College of Art in London (sculpture track).

Liu Yucen is a sculptural artist with a background in architecture, now based in Shanghai. Her artistic practice is rooted in experiences of migration, memory fragments, and identity construction, and has long revolved around the fluid, polysemic concept of "home." Growing up in the compound of a power plant in Northwest China during her childhood, and later following a life of frequent relocation, she has maintained an ambiguous yet profound perception of home and space. Through sculpture and installation, she explores the traces of overlooked objects within domestic environments, activating the emotional tension of everyday items through processes of dismantling and reconstruction, allowing space itself to become a narrator of memory.

She is deeply attentive to the intrinsic language and perceptual energy of materials, emphasizing a critical state of "material utterance"—preferring to let materials detach from human agency, generating, transforming, and expressing themselves on site. For her, materials are not merely vehicles of form but also subjects of memory and identity. She establishes an oscillating spatial tension between stability and imbalance, presence and absence. Her works are not just visual presentations but narratives within space, inviting viewers to reflect on the relationship between personal and collective memory, as well as space and identity. In continually questioning function and structure, she explores how migratory experiences shape our sense of belonging and cultural identity.
