In Crystal Liu’s universe, elements of the natural world serve as actors in a grand narrative of emotional and personal origins. Geological strata are represented by distinctly colored sections of marbleized paper, which are separated by an underground river. Leafless trees and a subterranean golden planet suggest both existential strife and hope for the future.
