Since 2001, Yehlin has been engaged in sound art, focusing on Humanistic Soundscape,
Electroacoustic Music and Musique Concrète. He recieved his RYT 200 yoga teacher
certification in 2010. In 2011, he started to photograph by self learning. His extensive
listening experience and yoga practices are the inspiration for his work. He sees
photography as a inner training to get closer to one’s primal perception, to be aware one’s
habitual seeing modes sand to transcend them. In this way, he attempts to perceive the
collective subconscious that lies beneath the surface of the external world, along with its
poetic and ineffable beauty. His first photobook "Raw Soul" was published by the
Japanese publisher "AKAAKA".
His photography and sound works have been exhibited in Europe, North America and
Asia. Solo exhibitions include: Kyoto (2018), Tokyo (2017), UK (2014). He has also been
invited to participate in group exhibitions: Hong Kong International Photography Festival
(2021), Kaohsiung Photography Festival (2018), Lianzhou International Photography
Annual (2016), and Taipei International Photography Festival (2012). Awards he won
include: Portfolio Review First Prize, Award Young Art Taipei (2016), National Art Museum
National Art Exhibition Selection (2013), TIVAC Jury Award (2012), Keio University Digital
Art Award Sound Division Selection (2005), and Taiwan Sound Art Award Selection (2005,
