In Shen's Sky series, viewers can see many everyday objects, such as notebooks, notes, MEDALS, shovels, napkins, computers, and packaging boxes. In the process of creation, the artist tries to keep the daily marks of these objects as much as possible, but at the same time, he also incorporates symbolic elements such as "Tian An Men", "The Capitol", "The Statue of Liberty", "Christ the Lord" and so on. Although the intervention of symbols can weaken the personal narration, it infuses meaning into the works.

In fact, Shen Liyi is an artist who is good at creating shock and awe in everyday visual habits. So-called "jing is shaken", make it produces a kind in the process that the vision receives namely "accident", that is to say, besides empty and real, positive and negative conversion, familiar and strange, daily and abnormal, rational and perceptual can produce a kind of inner tension in visual psychology.
