Li Jianyi's oil painting "What Sin" powerfully presents a poignant and accusatory visual language. Through delicate brushwork and a rich warm color palette, it vividly depicts the tragic scene of marine life’s innocent sacrifice, laid out on the ground. The fish, lying on their sides, are stacked in a layered composition, creating visual tension, with the interplay of blood and light emphasizing the fragility and transience of life. By symbolizing human greed and plunder through form, the artwork critically questions the legitimacy of such sacrifices and profoundly reflects on the dilemma of humanity and natural ethics.
