I am Yu-Chiao Chang, currently pursuing a master's degree at the Institute of Applied Arts, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. Previously, I earned a bachelor's degree in dentistry from Kaohsiung Medical University and have a professional background as a dentist.

From a young age, art has been an integral part of my life through drawing and photography. Though I once considered an art major, my family's medical background led me to choose dentistry—a field blending medical expertise with aesthetics. While a dental morphology sculpture course initially fulfilled my artistic instincts, deeper clinical experience revealed its creative limitations, leaving me yearning for artistic expression.

My work explores the human body, cognitive awareness, and states of abjection, examining individual existence alongside social and technological trends. Approaching art through a natural science lens, I use experimental mixed media and interdisciplinary methods to investigate how the body is understood and represented within technology, social norms, and personal experience.
