BIO
Yujia Ma (b. 1999, Zhejiang, China) is a visual artist working with lens and words.
Her work moves through memory, trauma, humor and healing.
She makes art to play and to heal; her process begins with trance prose/poetry/script writing.
She uses the camera as a portal to auto-fictional personae — a means of making sense of the past and being freed from it by reframing it through performance.
She finds inspiration in the past, introspection, and serendipity.
Yujia earned her BS from Babson College in 2023, with a concentration in Marketing, and her Photography MFA from Pratt Institute. She has exhibited with Gallery 263, NJ Pinhole Club, and Carrie Able Gallery, among others, and been featured in 1723 Magazine, MORPH MAG, and Beautica.
She is based in Brooklyn, New York.
