The RBC Centre for Emerging Artists and Designers is excited to announce Yuxi Ji as the recipient of the 2023 Parks Canada, Visual Creative Content Specialist Career Launcher!

 

Yuxi Ji : "I'm an OCAD U student, specializing in photography, installation, and performance. Passionate about capturing the beauty of nature and landscapes, I eagerly immerse myself in parks across Canada. Through my lens, I aim to encapsulate the serene and awe-inspiring moments found in these natural settings. With a keen eye for detail and a desire to evoke emotions, I strive to create visually compelling experiences for viewers. As a dedicated photographer, I continuously explore new avenues and push the boundaries of my craft. Join me on this artistic journey as I seek to harmonize art, nature, and self-expression."

A rich assembly of natural, cultural and agricultural landscapes, Rouge National Urban Park is home to amazing biodiversity, some of the last remaining working farms in the Greater Toronto Area, Carolinian ecosystems, one of the region’s largest marshes, amazing hiking opportunities, and human history dating back over 10,000 years, including some of Canada’s oldest known Indigenous sites.

Yuxi will split her time between the office and the park: processing images in the Rouge National Urban Park photo library, shooting imagery with drones and cameras, doing design tasks for the Park’s Communications department, organizing and archiving images and supporting the creation of staff resources.
