This coming June, SC Gallery presents the new show “We Float, As We Slowly Fall Asleep,” the first solo exhibition of Chui Suet Wai, Doris. Using her own experiences as a starting point, Doris employs a contrasting neon colour palette and the dislocation between scenes and figures to create a new series of works reflecting the contradictory mindset of urban dwellers—feeling mentally fatigued yet constantly chasing speed under the kaleidoscopic modern life.

Doris's creative process revolves around her observation on her mental state—high productivity is held together by external simulations, though underneath it lies a sensory perception worn out by the dazzling city lights. As technology progresses, modern society prioritizes efficiency, people are trapped in a cycle of work. Pace accelerates and becomes the core pursuit of many. People habitually follow established metrics, relying on external stimuli to enhance their efficiency, racing towards the goals. However, when the driving force gradually becomes passive and these stimulations slowly fade away, all that remains is an overwhelming sense of fatigue.

Opening reception: 7 June | 4 - 7pm

Gallery address: 1902, Sungib Industrial Centre, Wong Chuk Hang
