Yasy Bachurina (b. 2002) is a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation. Originally from Russia, she is currently based in Hong Kong.

Her practice is centered on working with remnants — forms that emerge after meaning has shifted or collapsed and continue to sustain a sense of presence. She is drawn to materials and structures that resist fixed interpretation: fragments, hybrid bodies, architectural traces, and objects that appear more found than intentionally produced.

Working with painting, drawing, wood, and stone as spaces of accumulation, she brings together landscapes, bodies, and artifacts in unstable configurations where scale remains in flux and spatial logic is unfixed. These forms resemble fictional archaeological findings, stripped of clear function and direct symbolism, while retaining internal tension and coherence.

Many of her works exist as traces of loss or incompletion and do not seek to restore a unified whole. The forms resist interpretive closure and remain irreducible to explanation. Their impact unfolds on the level of presence, tension, and experience.

Her works exist through encounter — as states that remain open and cannot be exhausted through interpretation.
