Yambou Kong Kang

Using oil painting, embroidery, ink, and mixed media I explore the female body as a holder of memory, pain, and strength. My work draws from women's stories the ones that are often kept hidden or forgotten thereby revealing what's been silenced. Through layered materials and hands-on processes, I explore the emotional and physical marks that trauma and time leave on us. I create intimate works that invite people to pause, feel, and have conversations about pain, change, and the quiet resilience we carry. My practice celebrates how vulnerability and strength are inseparable, and how healing is possible.
