Jiazi Yin is an artist based in Duluth, Georgia. With roots in China and four years spent living in Japan, she embarked on her artistic journey in the United States in 2017. 

Her work traces the themes of migration, psychology, and displacement, exploring how journeys—whether chosen or forced—reshape both landscapes and the inner terrain of the self. Memory threads through these work like a layered, shifting map, charting emotional geographies and holding fragments of lives in transition. Abstract maps appear as guides through dislocation, while color becomes a vital language, evoking place and mood and marking invisible boundaries between loss and belonging. Alongside this, she explores interpersonal relationships, tracing the fragile bonds and shifting connections that emerge amid movement, absence, and return. Through her work, Yin seeks to stir empathy in the viewer, offering glimpses into lives beyond our own while quietly turning the mirror back on ourselves.

Yin earned her MFA degree from American University in 2023, where she was awarded the Vollmer Family scholarship, Van Swearingen Award, and Stanley G.Wolpoff Award. She got her BA degree from the University of Maryland in studio art focused on painting in 2021 with honors. She has been actively involved in various exhibitions hosted by galleries across the DMV area, including Transformer DC, Stamp Gallery, Latela Curatorial, Touchstone Gallery, Portico Gallery, DC Arts Center, Brentwood Arts Exchange, Montpelier Arts Center, Anacostia Arts Center, Rhizome DC, Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center, and Katzen Arts Center Museum. 

In 2024, she presented a solo exhibition at the DC Arts Center, and in 2025, she participated in an artist residency at the Virginia Center for Creative Arts.
