You Xi

Synopsis

You Xi is composed of fragmented “moments” or “events.” They may be easily overlooked or fleeting: a moment of reverie, a snowflake melting away, overlapping dreams, the alternating of night and day, or the waxing and waning of the moon. They may fill one’s heart with joy, or leave one feeling wistful: a book, clouds drifting freely, a room all to oneself, an ice cream encountered by chance on a rainy or snowy day, or an unexpected turn of events… The little white man and the man in the hat live in solitude and tranquility within their respective worlds, offering both subtle contrasts and romantic, magnificent echoes.
