About The Artwork

Year: 2020 Style: illustration Description: Inspred by a fairytale story from sci-fi book three-body problem. Sha created this scene where the people all come to dye pit to mix pigment. The kids use music to collect tears from birds, which is then used as the media to mix pigment. In the book there is a really biref discription of the pigment all need to be mixed with the tears of some huge bird. That sentence is so short but full of endless imagination, Sha starts to think how do people harvest the tear? What does the bird look like? This piece is trying to unfold the her version of the story visually. The unframed size of the print is 14'' x 21'' The artwork is on exhibition at Guild Gallery during the fall, 2022. Need Help?

Sha Li

Sha Li is an award-winning illustrator, artist and architect working and living in NYC. She has a strong interest in narratives, which is where she started her own exploration of visual arts. A lot of her works celebrate femininity and womanhood. Her works capture sections of life and unfold hidden stories that are yet to begin.

Coming from an architecture background, Sha is trained to work with completion and certainty. But she always find beauty in half-told stories, unfinished lyrics, unspoken words, etc. She understands that no single straight line can depict her emotions, convey her feelings on the blueprint. Then she start to draw her own narratives.

Sha Li is obsessed with the ambiguity of visual narratives that raise questions to the audience without leading them to a definite answer. Instead of finding answers, she is more interested in the process of unfolding the questions. Through her work, she sees her hidden self, makes peace with her struggles, and knows who she is.
