Hui, Li: The Crack

The Crack into Sleep Is the Crack into Dreaming explores the fragile boundary between waking life and the dream world. Through minimalist imagery, I place subjects within the everyday, focusing on subtle details and quiet emotions that suggest something hidden beneath the surface.
These cracks act as portals to the subconscious, where intimacy and distance exist in tension.
Some images unfold through double exposure, layering fragments of memory and time, like brief flashes surfacing from within. The work
traces a visual journey through the in-between, where past and present softly blur.
