Graduation project
123 Paintings
Lisa Li
When Covid stopped the world from running, Lisa Li sat down, watched people pass by and started drawing. Her ink paintings reveal mankind’s vulnerability, exposed by an invisible virus that sweeps the globe. “It’s like World War III,” says Lisa. “The earth seems to be on hold; no one knows when the virus will leave, but life goes on.” Coming for no reason and leaving without warning, it became a creative motivation. Following the Tao philosophy, ‘123 Paintings’ show that everything is an arrangement of nature that cannot be proven or explained.
