Eagan Hsu
Eagan Hsu (b. 2007, Taipei, Taiwan) is a lens-based artist based in Taipei whose primary practice is photography, complemented by sculptural works. His photographs probe everyday moments and overlooked fragments of existence to uncover deeper truths. Fascinated by human emotion and introspection, he explores themes of identity and ephemera—using slow-shutter self-portraits and candid street encounters to frame quiet tensions and imperfect beauty, inviting viewers to pause and notice what usually slips by.

In sculpture, Eagan transforms intangible experiences—memories, fleeting emotions, personal philosophies—into tactile form. Employing materials such as aluminum extrusion, acrylic transfers, and layered surfaces, each piece functions as an archive of feeling, mirroring the way his images capture both a moment and its emotional residue.
Across media, his practice resides at the intersection of identity and vulnerability, forging an intimate bridge between subject and viewer. Whether through photograph or object, Eagan’s work extends an invitation to reflect on our shared humanity and discover the beauty hidden in the everyday.
