This long scroll, with its array of seals and inscriptions, is a curated anthology of writings on a shared theme: sleep. The texts span centuries and geographies, weaving together reflections from Song dynasty scholars Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi, a lyrical essay by Malaysian Chinese writer Maniniwei, and modern poetry by Taiwanese poet Hsu Pei-fen. What seems like everyday observations begin to reveal a quiet thread connecting past and present: our enduring curiosity about rest, dreams, and well-being.
The scroll begins with the phrase “Returning home in a dream”, brushed in soft, saturated ink, serving as an entry point into this meditation on sleep. Each piece that follows is written in a different shade of ink, on varied textures and colors of paper, and stamped with a diverse set of seals. The result is a flowing, collaborative forum, one that spans time and culture, quietly stitching together the intimate moments that shape our shared human experience.
