**Interview with Artist Fengzee Yang about “SOUNDER WIND”**
**Editor:** Today, we’re joined by Fengzee Yang, whose upcoming exhibition, ”SOUNDER WIND,” will be held on November 1st at the ARC Gallery in Chicago. Fengzee, thank you for being with us!
**Fengzee Yang:** Thank you for having me!
**Editor:** Your exhibition, “SOUNDER WIND,” is likely to resonate deeply with attendees. Can you tell us what inspired this particular body of work?
**Fengzee Yang:** Absolutely! “SOUNDER WIND” is inspired by the interplay between sound and nature. I wanted to explore how the natural world communicates and how we often overlook the subtleties of those sounds in our busy lives. The installation incorporates various auditory elements to create an immersive experience.
**Editor:** Sounds fascinating! How do you expect visitors to engage with your work?
**Fengzee Yang:** I hope they will not only listen but feel the sounds physically and emotionally. I’ve designed the space so that viewers can move through it and interact with different sound sources. It’s about creating a shared experience that connects us to our environment.
**Editor:** You’re opening your exhibition on the same evening as several other art events in Chicago. What do you think about the arts scene there right now?
**Fengzee Yang:** Chicago has always had a vibrant arts community, and I’m excited to be part of it. There’s a wonderful sense of collaboration among artists and spaces like ARC Gallery. I think events like these create opportunities for dialogue and inspiration across different mediums and perspectives.
**Editor:** You’re also showcasing in a city known for its diverse artistic expressions. What does that diversity mean to you as an artist?
**Fengzee Yang:** It means everything! Diversity fuels creativity. It challenges me to think beyond my own experiences and embrace the multiplicity of voices. This exhibition, alongside others like “WITH(TRA) THE FILE” and “Radical Joy,” reflects that diversity and the importance of storytelling in art.
**Editor:** what do you hope visitors take away from “SOUNDER WIND”?
**Fengzee Yang:** I hope they leave with a renewed sense of awareness—both of the sounds around them and their connection to that environment. If I can spark curiosity and provoke thought, I’ll consider it a success.
**Editor:** Thank you for sharing your insights, Fengzee! We’re looking forward to “SOUNDER WIND” on November 1st at ARC Gallery.
**Fengzee Yang:** Thank you! I can’t wait to share this experience with everyone.
