Li who whose works are best described as a post-orietalism, explores a new concept and expression of Chinese landscapes. His choice of material is unexpected; instead of marble, wood or even glass, he prefers buying shards of broken porcelain recovered from ancient archeological digs, some dating from the Ming Dynasty, and then shaping and polishing them, drilling holes into each corner and linking them together with silver wire to create a form of clothing, including traditional Chinese dresses and jackets as well as neckties and military uniforms.
