Lili Fell in a Glass was produced along with a few works dealing with accidental encounters, gestures, fragments of time, and traces of history. The progression of life or its statuses and the potential of narrative or interpretation have been the main considerations in these works. Lili Fell in a Glass prolongs a duration of decaying and attends to the transition of disappearance and becoming, while during the process, it presents itself as a confident and elegant gesture and a statement of embracing itself as what it is.
