My name is Yixuan LIU (刘亦璇). I study for my philosophy doctorate in Switzerland (Fribourg) and the Netherlands (Leiden). It’s like being a tired (and, sometimes, happy) circus performer. I built this website to understand how the world appears through what I do. Therefore, here, I’m collecting the things I’ve made and things I like a lot. Not everything; just some things. So, this website is a private and small experiment.
Some trivial academic background about myself. If you are interested, please click here.
