Orange Li's practice largely draws from her memories, dreams, and the intuitive connection between the body and the psychological state of the individual. She delves into the interconnectedness between nature, time-space travel, and her story while also examining the potential relationship among art, spirituality, and storytelling.

She faced immense challenging issues growing up, such as poverty, gender discrimination, the commodification of girls/women, and sexual violence. Therefore, creating is a coping mechanism to deal with the pain within her mind and body. It transforms the internal struggle into pathways toward beauty and confronts horrors in life. She examines dualities like sliding dials in-between changing nature elements, cultures, dreams and reality, and life and death.

She aims to address societal norms and give voice to the hidden and oppressed aspects through herstory while holding a thread of hope to explore the wonder in nature. Her work searches for the links that connect the human and natural worlds in an attempt to create a *Gesamtkunstwerk* (universal artwork), synthesizing different forms of knowledge into her own aesthetic logic.

Her work has been shown in select exhibitions such as Bienvenu Steinberg & C, New York (2025); The Drawing Center Benefit Show, New York (2024); Latchkey Gallery, New York (2024); Elza Kayal Gallery, New York (2023); Taiwanese American Arts Council, Government Island (2023); SVA ContinuEd Project Gallery, New York (2022); VillageOneArt Gallery, New York (2021, 2023); Mana Contemporary, Jersey City (2021); Monira Foundation, Jersey City (2021); and Art Taipei, InSian Gallery, Taiwan (2020).
