Li Yin's series draws upon the intimate and now vanished Yinchang Valley of his childhood, a place once filled with laughter and companionship, now only a memory following the transformative Sichuan earthquake of 2008.
Li Yin's paintings serve as a portal to the past, capturing the essence of a lost home and the shared human experience of growth, loss, and the desire to return to a time of innocence. Li Yin's pieces are thus a testament to the enduring search for the self through the familiar yet distant landscapes of memory.
