Description
This work registers -- perhaps borrowed photographic forces -- several figures practicing an unified pose outdoor: right forearm lifting subtly from the elbow to allow the palm to meet the face; the left arm is also minutely curved to level the hand with the figure's waist; the figure's right leg is stepping forward and bended, leaving the other leg as the main fulcrum of the body. On top of the imagery LI Tianyuan recorded, he scatters several printed "strips" vertically, close to the fashion of a "bar code". The "stripes" are pigmented with majorly blueness and whiteness. The stripes seem coterminous to each other; they might constitute a complete imagery if the missing visual hiatus are filled. (Jerry Wu'23).
