Flow Like Water III by Meixian Li
Published: 01.08.2018
Before I came to the Bay Area I lived in Hangzhou, a water village in Southern China. I was fascinated with the patterns that water creates as it is reflected and refracted, as well as the movement of water with its shapes and colors as it swirls, creating abstract scenery. In the way of Taoism, the “going with the flow” philosophy has helped me many times when I was struggling. It has been a beautiful reminder for me to continue to follow my own path, live my own purpose, and walk on in the face of difficulties. I show the movement of water in my pieces to demonstrate the feeling of calmness that I experience when I am by the water in Hangzhou. I used many different materials such as resin, porcelain, and handmade paper combined with metal. The resin, porcelain, and paper show the soft and gentle, while the metal shows the hard and rigid. For color, I mostly chose blue and white, which gives the feeling of purity and peace. The water is a metaphor for my life experiences, which have always been bittersweet — while calm and soft, beneath the surface is power and strength.
