Eternal Light in the Darkness

Artist Statement

This is a very personal project about light and inner energy. When the darkness comes, light guides Li to move on and provides him with energy. In the light, he transfers his fear of death into awe of life. Through tracing back to significant events in his life, Li reflects on his relationships with people and places, exploring the meaning of their existence and how those connections shape his life.
