The butterfly of styx river

Weina Li’s art practice celebrates human’s passion in pursuit of unconventional love. In The Butterfly of Styx River (2019), the artist intertwines her love trajectory with romantic stories from both eastern and western literary traditions. Her unique storytelling is underscored by her voluptuous artwork all handmade by herself. In the beginning, this series of work was named as “Don’t be ashamed of love.” It includes four stories: No.1 Zao Lian, No.2 Sex, No.3 The Butterfly of Styx River, and No.4 Love God Don Juan.
