Li Zetao was born in Changsha, Hunan in 1997. He graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute with a bachelor’s degree in 2019 and obtained his master’s degree from the same department in 2022. Currently, he lives and works in Chongqing. His recent research primarily focuses on the symptom of “exhaustion,” aiming to elucidate the underlying causes through the exploration of relevant scenes and objects: is it a punishment mechanism or a reward mechanism? Is it the result of systemic discipline or performance assessment? Does society perpetuate a state of exhaustion in individuals, and is it possible to break this cycle under certain circumstances?
