Lilia Li-Mi-Yan works with physicality and partial objects, creating intricate tactile rhymes of body, skin, fur, fruit and liquids. Nausea is a reaction of the organism when it has absorbed too much; the eye receives a portion of the world that can be split into identifiable parts but cannot be digested into a whole. As if the body extends beyond the subject, every crack looks like a scar — Sartre's idea of feeling the body only through trauma.
