Yu Lili - Cosmology 

In the Cosmology series, Yu extends this mineral ground into speculative space. Rusted cogs, orbital debris, and mechanical remnants drift across mineral atmospheres, uniting starlight and industrial residue within a single refractive continuum. Here, entropy and infinity share a visual law; cosmic time and human time collapse into adjacent strata of pigment, where 13-billion-year radiance and contemporary detritus coexist in one field.

Her Void series approaches absence as a material phenomenon. By deploying micron-scaled crystals, Yu constructs a tactile interface with the unseen energies that structure existence. Moving shadows function as transient black holes, granting weight to emptiness and turning negative space into a responsive, light-driven solid. In these works, the void becomes not an absence but an ontological fullness—a dense, luminous field masked as emptiness.

Across both bodies of work, Yu Lili transforms mineral pigment into a cosmological medium, binding geology, optics, and metaphysics into a single, slow-crafted practice that makes matter itself the subject.
