about
Leah Liu is a New York–based artist working across sculpture and sound. Her practice seeks absence, gap, and hollowness, shaping what materializes around them as active agents. Absence attains form through her casting process, where material fossilizes onto the mold and preserves the trace of withdrawal. By folding forms into enclosed chambers, her work attunes to the sonic agency of air and reflects a contemporary longing for shelter across urban infrastructural and psychic landscapes. She joins cast hollow modules into recursive assemblages, introducing moments of deviation that invite viewers to attune to the resonance where order trembles within its own fracture and meaning slips past the systems that seek to contain it.
