KRYSTAL E LI
I am an interactive artist, designer & ceramist based in New York City. My practice focuses on creating experiences based on curiosity, probability and play. My work has been exhibited in MadeinNY Gallery and FILE festival during my journey at Pratt Institute, ultimately receiving a BFA in Interactive Arts. I find pleasure in pouring cortados for people & deconstructing doll heads during wee hours.

CHRYSALIS
Chrysalis is a carnal immersive environment that is dominated by hollow babies. Babies appear in a bodily space, leaving hints to uncover the mystery to their existence.
In a maze-like experience around a doll house designed after the complexity of the human anatomy, a community of hollow babies dominate each room of the doll house, contained, propagated, and nurtured. Each room of the doll house reveals more information to a larger picture. The maze beckons the audience to connect the dots as walls are covered with blood, grand piano plays and grand statues float on altars. Where are these babies? Why are they here? What are they doing? The babies whisper gibberish to each other overhead, a message not intended for the audience to understand. Questions of inclusivity may be raised as millions of unknown networks communicate with each other within and out of our reach.
