About

Hengyu Wang is a photographer who works with time, emotion, the physical body, and food. Born in Shenzhen, China and raised in Dubai, UAE. Growing up in a diverse environment profoundly influenced his artistic understanding and worldview. Having spent considerable time travelling the world, Wang developed a unique perspective shaped by diverse cultures, landscapes, and experiences. 

Wang's artistic journey is a testament to his fascination with the complexities of mortal existence and the various ways in which we navigate the passage of time, grapple with emotions, and in relation to the physical impact on the bodies. Through his photography, he invites viewers to explore the nuances of these universal themes, offering glimpses into the depths of the human psyche.

In Wang's body of work, he uses the exploration of various subjects as metaphors for life, sustenance, and identity. Drawing inspiration from his multicultural background and global travels, Wang's portrayals of food serve as a lens through which to examine and explore the issues of memory, desire, and belonging.
