Floating Dream
Dreams are a mysterious realm deep in the human mind, containing emotions and potential that we have never discovered. According to Jung's theory of the collective unconscious, dreams are an important tool for human psychological development. They help individuals achieve self-integration by exploring the inner world. They often appear in fantastic and vague forms, carrying our deepest desires, fears and thoughts. In this exhibition, we will explore the profound and subtle relationship between dreams and healing, and reveal how art can become a medium for self-healing and exploration of the mind.
Healing is a power that helps us find balance again under the pressure of life. The role of art in this process cannot be underestimated. It can not only transform emotions and express unspeakable feelings, but also provide us with a space for reflection and regeneration. Guided by dreams, artistic creation has become a unique psychological exploration tool, allowing us to have a dialogue with our inner self at the intersection of colors and shapes.
This exhibition brings together artists from different backgrounds, and through different forms of works, presents a series of artistic expressions full of fantasy and healing power. Each work is a window to the world of dreams and the healing journey of the soul.

Eternal in Dreams-Qianyi Liu
Artwork Description:
This piece reflects on the concept of death through the lens of dreams and memory. Just as dreams allow us to traverse different realms of consciousness, I explore death not as an end but as a transformation in the way we communicate and connect with those who have passed. Inspired by the idea that being forgotten is the true death, I delve into how we can maintain a bond with our deceased loved ones through memory, akin to how dreams blur the lines between presence and absence.
In this work, I invite viewers to contemplate death as a shift in communication—a new dialogue that takes place in our subconscious minds, much like the ephemeral nature of dreams. By sharing my personal way of commemorating loved ones, I hope to encourage audiences to confront their own perceptions of death, embracing it as a continuation of connection rather than an absolute end.

Participating in this exhibition not only provides me with a valuable opportunity to have in-depth exchanges with many artists, but also becomes a platform for cross-cultural dialogue. Through interaction with audiences from different cultural backgrounds, I have a deep understanding of their diverse thoughts on the theme of death. Each audience has their own unique cultural symbols and life experiences, and has a different interpretation of death. This diverse exchange of ideas not only broadens my understanding of the theme of death, but also makes me realize the potential power of art in connecting individual experience and collective emotions.
This cross-cultural dialogue prompted me to reflect on how to balance individual expression and the communication of universal emotions in my works, so that the works of art can resonate with audiences from different cultures. The understanding and expression of death in different cultures provide new inspiration for my creation, and also allow me to see the possibility of my own works being interpreted from different cultural perspectives.
