Huaiyi Du was born in 1993 and currently works and lives between the UK and China. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Photography from the Beijing Film Academy (2016) and a Master of Arts degree from the University of the Arts London (2024).
He is a visual artist who excels at using photography as a medium to extract and preserve the continuity of emotions in real life, retaining these emotions in other forms. His creations largely revolve around themes such as memory, dreams, and time. Drawing from explorations of his own life experiences and incorporating diverse visual approaches, he abstracts concepts and expresses them through various visual contexts. His works possess a sense of narrative and experimentalism.
