Heng Yi is a Chinese-born artist whose practice moves across ink painting, calligraphy, architectural drawing, and philosophical inquiry, exploring how image can approach states of perception described in Mahayana thought. His work evokes spiritual presence through atmosphere, ambiguity, and spatial resonance, engaging concepts such as the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds, emptiness, and emergence.
