"Li"

Li - a concept found in Neo-Confucian Chinese philosophy - refers to the order of nature reflected in its organic forms and patterning. Quite literally, “li” means the markings in jade or the fibers in muscle tissue. We see this patterning in the movement of water, the forms of trees and clouds, the structures of neurons and cells, and in the galaxies of outer space.
 
This virtual exhibition includes selected works from SciArt community members who have found creative inspiration from li. Our artists explore this elusive yet identifiable organic structuring on micro and macro levels. The natural world and its inherent ability to continually awe, amaze, and inspire the human soul is translated through these incredible works of art.
