Artist honors Dongguan and its migrant workers through artwork

In the same gallery, another work titled Companion (2019) features pairs of ceramic mosaics of varying sizes arranged neatly in a row. It symbolizes the diverse relationships and emotional connections that individuals depend on throughout their lives.

Li's creations are hailed as a testimony to Dongguan's rise from a sleepy town into a vibrant manufacturing hub and an emerging first-tier city as well as a thank-you letter to all the young people who have travelled across the country to work there over the last four decades.
