Earlier, Liu studied wall painting for about six years.

"Wall paintings are more eye-catching for the public in larger spaces and can easily prompt interactions with observers compared to those displayed in art galleries," he says.

Growing up in the countryside, Liu knows that many villages having mottled walls along streets and houses are patched with advertisements that can shroud local features.
