Installation At the End of Everything is the final presentation for my residency at ArtPACE, San Antonio, in the summer of 2023.

The project delves into the nature of oil as an assertive, almost sentient resource rather than a passive substance and explores the intersection of oil, life, and death.


"Coming from a background deeply connected to petroleum exploitation in her hometown of Karamay, Xinjiang, China, Liu's residency in oil-dependent Texas further amplifies the significance of her work, with Texas leading the nation in crude oil production and refining and home to the largest petrochemical cluster in the world.”
