Li Shi extends her emotional recording practice to painting and clay sculpture. She translates transient emotions including excitement, rage, joy and sorrow into independent visual landscapes, conducting experimental artistic exploration of self-perception and emotional governance.
Titled Humans in Glass Jars Possess 7×40,000 Seconds of Memory, her site-specific solo exhibition documents 14 consecutive days of real-time emotional creation. Abandoning complete human body contours, she records subconscious behavioral traces through raw material application. Fragmented frames carry subtle psychological viscosity, resembling intimate inner dialogue with suppressed subconsciousness.
Li’s creative scope centers on interpersonal bonds and human-environment interactions, visualizing family affection, friendship and existential predicaments. The exhibition marks both a breakthrough in her artistic style and an invitation for public empathy, enabling every viewer to map personal inner emotions onto abstract artwork.
