I. Photography "Personal Belongings"

Based on my educational background in Journalism and Applied Psychology, applied interview and psychology to the creation of the art photography project "Personal Belongings". 100 ordinary person aged between 18 and 89 was photographed during the five years project. Through the objects and human body, different parts of the life of each one were presented, including stories about dreams, romances, kinship, disease, disability, and self-search.

In the present era of rapid economic development, the relationship between humans and objects is even more complicated. Although this project discusses the relationship between humans and objects, it expounds on the relationship between humans, and the relationship between human beings and innermost beings.

II.  Performance "Li Aixiao and Her 100 Pictures"

On April 21, 2019, I invited 100 people I’ve photographed in the past five years to a performance. They posted the pictures which I took of each of them on my body, and I left myself naked to all the naked people I'd photographed. Go back to every story I have shot in the past, recall the brief time I spent with everyone, respond to the question "What is your most important personal belonging", return all emotions to myself, and recycle all feelings from inside to outside.

This is the last photo of the project Personal Belongings.

III. Performance "Dust to Dust"

44 photos recorded the process that the photos pasted all over my body slowly faded away until completely disappeared in 15 days.

Everything in the world, like these photos, disappears completely with time, eventually ashes to ashes, and dust to dust.

IV.  Photography & Photoshop"Alchemy"

Those photos, like the cuticle, fall off little by little over time and then attached themselves to bras, clothes, trousers, towels, quilts, toilets, computer desks, and floors. Scattered all over my living environment in this way, reminding me that they have appeared on my body in the form of photos. I photographed the traces of their existence and turned them into what I imagined them to be. I don't know why I suddenly thought of alchemy. There is an explanation of "alchemy", which I quite agree with. It says that "alchemy" is about making things useful again by understanding, decomposing, and reconstructing materials.
