“I wanted the transparent material to glow, and I found that LED light is the only light that can produce the effect I wanted. The material is also thin enough for me to install inside the work, so I used it. [..] What I want to create is smoke rising from the bed softly and freely. It is a work that would evoke emotions, but this may not be obvious from photos."
Li Hui, quote from: Young Chinese artist Li Hui Lights Up Netherlands. An Art Radar Interview, artradarjournal.com, September 28, 2010.
