Dreams

This ongoing series created by Dongyi Wu draws from dreams as fields of intensity, where images appear not as symbols or stories, but as conditions that generate tension, direction, and transformation.

 
 
 
 

Dinner

Dinner suspends a set dining table above intersecting railway tracks, holding a quiet scene on the edge of rupture. When worn, the oval structure encircles the body, extending this pressure into a continuous field of tension between body, object, and imagined environment.

Floating Face

Facial features drift within a Magritte-like window frame, while the body transforms into a house with a hip roof. The work turns the figure into a shifting structure, caught between body, shelter, and surreal displacement.

Eternal Dream

This work emerges from a dream-like maze, like an endless detective story without beginning or resolution. Scattered manuscript-like papers repeat the image of a fruit cut in half, whose pointed form seems about to become a compass. Yet the system never fully resolves; the work stays suspended in the moment before orientation is formed, where clues accumulate without revealing a final direction.
