Joe is a contemporary sculptor best known for infusing his life experiences into his creations in a sensitive yet expressive approach. He encourages audience to view his works by seeing them as what they simply are, and perhaps to project their own life experiences onto the pieces. Joe is fascinated by the comprehension of “Yuan Fen”, that everyone is destined to meet his or her defined partner or friends as a whole, and that particular person will appear when the time is right.

“The Buddha - it took 500 glances in the previous life for one to get passed by each other in this life.”

Joe's expressive sculptures carry a dialogue with the audiences, in hope that people will cherish their hard-won destiny. The exhibition will serve as an inspiration to the audience to cherish each other — when... WE MET !

Joe will be showing his other series of works plus his new works in this exhibition.

We Met

Li feels that “yuan fen” is very interesting, if you’re destined to meet someone, no matter how many turns and bends you take, you will encounter them eventually. May it be your destined partner, your family, your kids, your friends, etc.

緣份

李氏認為緣份是一樣奇秒的東西，命中注定遇到的人，無論轉多少個圈，拐多少個彎，終究都會遇上。可以是和親人的緣份，和子女的緣份，和朋友的緣份，等等。

Fly High

As we grow up, we are placed in different stereotypes and expectations. It takes a lot of courage and determination to break through these barriers and live according to our heart's desire. Li encourages everyone to step out of their comfort zone, aim high and reach for the stars.

想飛

長大時，我們被置於不同的定型觀念和期望之中。要衝破這些障礙，按照自己的理想生活，其實需要十足的勇氣和決心。李氏透過作品鼓勵每個人走出他們的舒適圈，務求飛得更高更遠。

Childhood Dreams

Everyone has their own dreams. Since Li was a child, he dreamed of having his own treehouse... with his Childhood Dreams series, Li encourages individuals to cross different paths and to use appropriate methods to pursue one’s dreams and goals.

童年夢想

每個人都有不同的夢想。李氏自小便希望擁有一間樹屋，所以他以樹屋為元素創作出雕塑作品，喻意人們應去追尋自己各自不同的夢想與目標，而靠著自己的努力與合適的方法，就能把它們一一實現。

The Pathway

In life’s journey, one is blessed with a companion, with the guidance of trusted friends, and a place to take a rest when needed. As the saying goes, "Taking a rest is for the purpose of going further."  Through his works, Li hopes that the audiences can feel the beauty of life with one’s surroundings and friends; and occasionally let themselves rest, so that the body and mind will be rejuvenated to accept life’s challenges.

人生路上

人生漫漫，在路途上能有人相伴前行，有明燈指引，也有休憩的地方讓人稍作歇息，是一種平淡安穩的小確幸。常言道：「休息是為了走更遠的路。」透過作品，李氏希望觀眾能在努力打拼的日常中，感受慢活的生活美，偶爾讓自己歇息，讓身心有足夠的能量去接受人生的挑戰。
