Clear Soul, created in 2002 by Li Chen, is part of his series Spiritual Journey through the Great Ether. The sculpture exclusively adopts a silvering material and creates a mirror-like inverting effect. Clear Soul figuratively suggests that only a pure and spotless soul, such as that of a newborn baby, may freely fly over the serene and clear lake. The infant-like Clear Soul actually means freedom from desires or demands, negating mortal emotions or desires, complying with the rules of nature, and facing and enjoying life with the most genuine attitude. Clear Soul seems as if a mind of concerns has seemingly cast off the concerns of mortal toil; it is substantial but feels weightless. Life is real and yet full of illusions, which are doomed to vanish as time goes by. This philosophy can be compared to a mirror-like inverting effect. Pure and spotless Clear Soul, which is the boundary of Buddhism, will enjoy the freedom of flying over the serene and clear lake. Li abandons the over-complicated or lines in his sculptures and the perfectly round and unsophisticated image of figure always bring the viewers the purest movement through looking at these simple works.
