The Women Inside:
Four Frames of Womanhood.
Behind closed doors: memory, cage, sanctuary.
Four women frame domestic life through an intimate lens.
This immersive video and photo installation brings together the voices of four women of colour at different stages of life. Through film and collage, they open the door to their inner worlds—revealing quiet truths, emotional textures, and layered rhythms of being.
Each work offers a distinct perspective: Echo reimagines the sensuality of flowers, conjuring dreams of spring while boldly expressing sex and desire through a retrospective dialogue with traditional Chinese erotic art. Ni Ni traces a year of early motherhood—night feeds, broken sleep, and tender awakenings—mapping her self-growth. Tammy turns her lens on five months spent with parents and grandmother early this year, using small details—a dish, a flower, a daily routine—to rediscover her roots and question what sanctuary truly means. Zoey’s Single Life meditates on solitude, shifting daylight, artificial glow, and fleeting human traces, capturing cycles of isolation, reflection, and renewal.
Together, these frames form a mosaic of womanhood—personal yet universal, fragmented yet interconnected. You are invited to move at your own pace, encountering stories that are reflective and layered—somewhere between a living room and a dream.
A Spring Dream,
Lost to Time
Artist - Echo Cai
Video 1:35 minutes

Women always live in the Spring Palace. With a few ancient erotic art scolls, I lead you back five more centuries, to a China where love and sex were once cherished as beauty and romance. Happy is far away China!

Fragments of Motherhood
Artist - Nini
Video 3:20 minutes
2025, Research, Victoria, Australia
This short film is inspired by my first two years of motherhood, documented daily through a baby tracker app. The fragmented data of feeding, sleeping, and caring became a mirror of life entirely centered on the baby. By transforming these records into visual form, I give shape to the emotions of that time—fatigue and tenderness, exhaustion and resilience, fleeting joy and lasting happiness—interwoven through the language of art.
Endless Corner
Artist - Zoey Zuo
Video 2:20 minutes
2025, Bundoora, Victoria, Australia
This video observes the quiet unfolding of a single day within a room corner.
Shifting daylight, artificial illumination, and occasional human traces mark the passing hours.
Night ends in a sudden eruption of cascading digital numbers, before darkness gives way to morning light - an endless cycle of solitude and renewal.
Three Meals, Four Seasons
Artist - Zhao Tammy Yang
Video 3:05 minutes
2025, Guilin, Guangxi, China
Since leaving home at 18 to study and work, I rarely witnessed the changing seasons in my hometown or spent long periods with my parents and grandma.
In Lunar New Year 2025, I returned for five months, embracing family routines, meals, and fleeting moments. Three Meals, Four Seasons is my tribute to that time at home as a full-time daughter.
