Yiling (b.2000), aka. ariatays, is a visual artist and writer based in Singapore.
Working across photography, performance and poetry, her practice examines humanness, intimacy, vulnerability, and gender. She uses image-making and language to investigate interiority, the confessional, and our encounters with the material everyday. Her works serve as close-readings into the ways we live, forming entry points of understanding; materialising critical sites for reconciliation and reclamation.
She holds a BFA (Hons) in Photography and Digital Imaging at NTU’s School of Art, Design and Media, with a minor in Creative Writing from the School of Humanities. She is the winner of the Kwek Leng Joo Prize of Excellence In Photography Award 2024.
