The Philosophy of Solitude and Coexistence · Xingming Li Solo Exhibition

I was introverted and sensitive as a child, and experienced isolation and bullying at school. I chose to draw solitude, hoping to make it a story that could be treated gently.

Moving, a small boat, and the island in the lake are images of beginning again and exploring a relationship with the world. The gentle, sensitive, timid, yet accepting otter carries the doubts and hopes I felt then.

These works began as comfort for a hurt younger self. Being alone need not mean closing the heart or fearing connection. The exhibition presents solitude as a starting point for coexistence, allowing each person to move at their own pace.
