Sun Lisha's 'Beautiful Life' exhibition: An interactive journey through melancholy and hope

This photo, taken on Sept. 2, 2025, shows the work "Restart Beautiful Life." The piece features 48 small paintings, with each telling a distinct life story. Using "empty eyes" — a motif drawn from archetype theory in psychology — the piece reveals unmasked interiority lingering behind seemingly cheerful painted expressions.
