Scott Li 

 
BA [Hons] Photography

Scott Li is an Irish born Chinese artist based in Dublin Ireland. His work centres around documentary and landscape. His current body of work explores the World War I scarred French landscape and the lost unsung soldiers. Traditionally a colour-centred visual artist, this new work is his attempt at a dive into world of black and white in a not so black and white topic.

Scars Thereafter and Over

‘Scars Thereafter & Over' is a project which explores the wasteful loss of life of countless unknown soldiers in France during World War I. Having become another faceless figure on a report, these unknown soldiers names are perhaps lost forever, but whose remains, now over one hundred year later, are a permanent part of the scarred French Landscape.
