This solo project, "Tracing Peach Blossom Spring" at the Pingshan Art Museum, adopts Tao Yuanming's The Peach Blossom Spring from the Eastern Jin Dynasty as a fulcrum to "trace" emotional experiences in the course of history with a "visionary" concept. "Tracing," in the exhibition title, a verb used in its active tense, differentiates Zhou Li's artworks from representations of Tao Yuanming's narrative. Meanwhile, the term alludes to how reality and the ideal realm connect through the footsteps of the Wuling fisherman despite the story's inconsequential outcome. The artist uses this "untraceable" outcome as an analogy for the unique and non-replicable nature of our emotional journey, which resonates with the notion of “traces of emotions," often emphasized in her works.
