The 7 blue dreamscapes examine family reunion and parting, inspired by her last visit to Hong Kong. Hui visualises her mixed feelings of bliss and grief from Lunar New Years celebration and mourning for deceased family member into a series of illustrative work. The dreamscapes are her chaotic mental space where Hui contemplates on opposing ideas on living and death and the joy and heart breaks that comes along with the transitory state of being.
