September 20th, 2025

BBART Harper’s Bazaar Art is the art edition of Harper’s Bazaar, focusing on contemporary art, photography, design, and cultural trends. It highlights influential artists and works worldwide, emphasizing the dialogue between art, society, identity, and memory.

Han Yang’s series Romantic Memories combines abstraction and surrealist visual language to explore the intertwining of personal experience, femininity, and temporality. Through the manipulation of light, shadow, and fragmented color, the work reinterprets the female body as both subject and metaphor, reversing linear time and revealing hidden emotional textures.

Drawing from women’s lived experiences, the series emphasizes life’s intensity and fragility, employing the body as a vessel for memory and desire. By allowing time to participate in the re-editing of imagery, Romantic Memories investigates how individual memories and emotions can be inscribed into images, generating affective spaces of remembrance.
