"Through photography, Lit extends her work into a new context, rethinking performative and wearable sculpture as image-based encounters. Rather than serving as documentation, the photographic frame becomes a space of translation, where action, tension, and gesture are condensed and rearticulated. The five selected images, drawn from her performative and wearable sculptures, communicate a shared visual language of control and resistance. Actions such as touch, breath, and repetitive labour—central to her sculptural practice—remain visible as traces within the image, holding a sense of duration within stillness. Informed by her background in scenography and garment-making, she approaches composition with sensitivity to surface, reflection, and the relationship between body and material. Through this shift, photography becomes a means to carry her work across contexts, extending its reach while preserving its embodied and conceptual intensity."
