Information
Her photographs are characterised by a minimalist aesthetic, often incorporating recycled and repurposed materials to highlight the potential for new life and meaning in pre-loved objects.
Michelle Qian Li’s work is influenced by the visual language of classical painting and contemporary fashion photography. Through quiet disruption and refined detail, she encourages viewers to question the reality presented to them and consider the deeper narratives embedded in the material world.
