Ta Jama was a series that began in 2012. Yu Ji works with construction material is more than simply to reenact the shaping of stone; she manipulates the innate properties of the material to infinitely approximate the meaning of the form. Corners of Ta Jama are based on leftover pieces from a larger sculpture, whose size was so great that it could not be removed from its then exhibition space in one, and had to be dismembered and otherwise destroyed. Yu took the three remaining corners and amended them with an assortment of materials, to iterate an approach towards the final concept in her mind through “unending ” manipulation.

Pataauw Stone is a video project that came out of a six-week residency project in Taipei Guandu Art Museum in 2015. The video documents her activities on the Seven Star Mountain in Pataauw, she drags a piece from the Ta Jama series, made in Taipei, up the mountain. Through the video documentation Yu engages the audience in a dialogue about the symbiotic relationship between the artist, the land, her work, and the natural environment.
