In Li Ming’s video practice, you can always see a self-directed working style. As an effective means of expression, image can easily transform the motivation. He was used to putting the idea of his work behind the image result by mind fermenting, with made his creative process always have an “impromptu” state. Rather to say this creation context is a game artist tried hard to build out; It is better to understand that the first person’s author is letting things take their natural course.
