In Liu Yi's work "A Travel Inward", viewers are invited into a mysterious world meticulously constructed through ink animation. This world reflects both the mechanized, unconscious busyness of modern society and delves deeply into the complexity and vastness of the individual inner world. Liu Yi likens herself to a turtle, retreating into her own body, embarking on a journey inward, along a "black hole" into the depths of self-exploration and self-awareness. The process culminates with her head emerging from the rectum, symbolizing not only an escape from reality but also a profound journey into the self. This entire exploration through the "digestive tract" is realized visually through the bizarre, fantastical richness of ink animation, presenting both a metaphor for evasion and a vivid depiction of inner introspection.
