Most of Liang’s works have a relation to nature or dealing with the relation between nature and humans. Although human is part of nature, we are different from any other species since we use more tools than them, so that we can have better control of things around us. And she would like to say that’s the contrast between body and mind, organic and artificial, and controlled and uncontrolled. Liang put most of her vigor on making sculptures and installations, which addresses issues related to the strict regulations and the softness of nature in contemporary society. As she is interested in combing organisms and the precise grid system together and the effects of these systems on individuals, she found that the format is not limited to three-dimensional objects, but also the flatter appearance as we can see on screen and paper. This series of work is aimed to transform and simplify a stereo idea into a highly concentrated surface.
