BEILI LIU One Another
This is one of the most famous art installations and pays homage to the children detained at the borders of the US and Mexico. Beili saved her daughter’s clothes from early years, acquired a few clothes from friends, dipped them in concrete, and placed them on the floor in a regular fashion. Their installation also has crochet baby booties dipped into concrete on a display podium. This piece of art is a thoughtful piece of art that conveys a very powerful message.
