Cyshimi | Viviane Lee Hsu (1998)

Chinese and Taiwanese Brazilian artist based in São Paulo.

​

​

Their work explores issues of ancestry, identity, beauty and body through their nail research. For Cyshimi, nails are “Performative Sculptures”, a term coined by the artist who affirms that their nails are not just a static object, but a sculpture that shapes the performativity of bodies. They are a symbol of resistance, empowerment and identity. Cyshimi sees each nail as a new world, built by shapes, colors and textures that, when together, cross those who see and use them.
