William Yang's photographs are part memoir, part invitation. Queer lives, Asian faces, vanished places — all lit with the soft glow of attention.
For writer and broadcaster Benjamin Law discovering Yang's work felt uncanny. Like recognition. Like fate. The sense that someone, somewhere, had lived a version of his life and turned it into light.
For Law, it wasn't just admiration. It was kinship. Two queer Asian men from regional Queensland. Two artists drawn to thresholds: of identity, of family, of desire, of home.
This week on The Art Show, we explore what it means to feel seen in someone else's work, and the unexpected communion that can follow.
