Xinran Fan is a New York–based artist and designer whose practice blends minimalism with emotional narrative. Working through repetition, circular forms, and subtle shifts in proportion, the work explores fragments, memory, and the evolving states of the self. Each silhouette becomes an opening—quiet, precise, and anchored in the tension between clarity and emotion.

Unlocking the self - Part 1



2026
Begins from private writing, diary fragments, and the quiet act of recording the self. Through traces of text, soft gestures, and intimate silhouettes, the work explores how memory is held, hidden, and slowly revealed. Rather than presenting identity as complete, this chapter approaches the self as something written in fragments — personal, vulnerable, and continuously becoming.


Unlocking the self - Part 2



2026
Unlocking the Self explores identity as a process of remembering, revealing, and becoming. Rooted in the metaphor of keys, locks, and openings, the collection traces the tension between the public self and the hidden self. Circular forms, key motifs, and layered constructions become quiet mechanisms of transformation, while materials shift between rigidity and softness to reveal fragments that lock, release, and reform in continuous motion.

I / Me / The Self



2025
Unfolds through cycles of memory and transformation: circular forms, key motifs, and openings become quiet mechanisms that trace the boundaries between the public self and the hidden self. Materials shift between rigidity and softness, revealing fragments that lock, release, and reform in continuous motion.

Point of Contact - Part 1



2025
Explores the unseen frequencies that shape our existence—those invisible threads binding bodies, emotions, and environments. It is an investigation of vibration as a force of resonance and transformation, where stillness meets movement, and chaos finds harmony. A sensory space emerges, ephemeral yet grounded, inviting presence as both transmitter and receiver within shifting currents.
