Through playful and often absurd imagery, Li explores cultural dislocation, the fragmentation of information, and the tension between immediacy and contemplation. Humor in his work is never simply a punchline; it coexists with unease, failure, and disorientation, offering a form of “negative positivity” that opens toward critical and comic insight. His practice investigates how visual language can bridge perception, miscommunication, and shared experience, constructing a reflective space outside mainstream narrative conventions.
