Yu-Sheng Chiu (b. 1999) is a photo-based artist living in Ottawa, Canada who uses self-portraiture to explore how solitude, memories, and the ever-changing definition of femininity have constructed her experiences as a Taiwanese woman in the artistic and political climates in this world. Notions of aloneness and navigation inform her practice of examining human forms and landscape that creates hospitable, home-like spaces to exist within while also addressing the obscure relationship between self and sexuality. Using medium format film with an intuitive approach, she enhances her predominantly analog practice by also including multi-disciplinary elements.

Chiu's works are held in private collections, as well as physical and virtual exhibitions at Mount Allison University (2021), SPAO Centre (2021, 2022, 2023), Analog Forever Magazine (2022), Do It For The Grain (2022, 2023), University of Ottawa (2024), Urban Art Collective (2024), Amashowza (2024), Gallery 115 (2024), Lomography (2024), St. Laurent Centre (2025), Toronto Outdoor Art Fair and its curated collections (upcoming, 2025), Ottawa Art Gallery (upcoming, 2025) and Wall Space Gallery (upcoming, 2025) while the list continues to grow. Her photograph also appeared in CBC Arts's newsletter, Hi, Art (2025) in the purpose of promoting TOAF64, after interviewing for uOttawa's Women and Media course (2022) which later became a part of the teaching materials for their BFA program's 4000 level courses.

During her years studying at Mount Allison University, SPAO Centre, and University of Ottawa, Chiu has gained experiences working with both analog and digital cameras in various formats, as well as an in-depth understanding in darkroom and inkjet printing. Asides from this website, her instagram account under the handle @yclaformosana will continue to be the platform where she shares in-progress work during this journey to fulfilling her purpose as an artist.
