In this dream, the narrator transformed into an older, Caucasian-looking Christian. Every week, he and his wife would light a candle in the church. One day, as he drifted to sleep, he awoke to find himself as a flame on a candle. Dazed, he tried to communicate with the bustling people in the church, but his efforts were in vain. Looking around, he noticed others on candles – men, women, old, and kids. Some appeared anxious, some calm, and others curious about him. Their candles dwindled, and their flames gradually became translucent. He gave up and sat down exhausted. Slowly, he fell asleep in the dream, only to wake up in reality. As if reality were just an awakened dream…

This astonishingly clear dream gave her the urge to bring it into the real world. She capped and raised a storage room to create a pure black stage. The audience could only watch the hologram on the candle outside the “secret room” door. In the projection, an old man with a Caucasian appearance greets the audience with a well-groomed look on top of a candle. His voice is like a flame, and he says in a tone that varies between strong and weak: “Hello, may I ask, where am I?” Is there anyone who can help me?” Interestingly, this cry for help often troubles visitors passing by this space. When they hear this cry for help, they will involuntarily look for the place where the sound occurs, but because of the “sealed” space, people are restricted outside and cannot be rescued. This is precisely the most realistic reflection of a dream. The artist has brought an event that is visible but intangible. Dreams and reality are mixed together in the black space, inducing people to interpret it and save him.

In China, they believe that loved ones can return in dreams to unite with them due to their longing and enduring attachment. Whether true or not, it symbolizes people’s romantic belief in the spirituality of all things, that the soul remains eternal despite the death of the physical body. Therefore, she wrote a poem to conclude the work, capturing the essence of the dream.

假如悲恸是爱…

在梦中，叙述者变成了一位高加索人相貌的老年基督徒。 每周，他和妻子都会在教堂里点燃蜡烛。 有一天，当他迷迷糊糊地睡着时，他醒来发现自己就像蜡烛上的一团火焰。 他茫然地试图与教堂里熙熙攘攘的人群沟通，但徒劳无功。 环顾四周，他注意到蜡烛上还有其他人——男人、女人、老人和孩子。 有人显得焦急，有人显得平静，还有人对他感到好奇。 蜡烛渐渐熄灭，火焰也渐渐变得半透明。 他放弃了，筋疲力尽地坐下来。 慢慢地，他在梦中睡着了，才在现实中醒来。 仿佛现实只是一场惊醒的梦……

这个清晰无比的梦让杨柳西子想把它带到现实世界，她将学校的储藏室封顶、加⾼做成了纯⿊⾊舞台，观众只可以在“密室”⻔外观看蜡烛上的全息投影，⼀位⾼加索⼈模样的⽼⼈，⾐冠楚楚的在蜡烛上向观众打招呼，声⾳和⽕焰⼀样，时强时弱的说着：“你好，请问，我在哪？有没有⼈可以帮帮我？” 有趣的事情，这个求救声音常常让路过这个空间的参观者困扰，当他们听到这个求救声音时，会不由自主的去寻找声音发生处，但往往他们因为“密封”空间，人被限制在外面，解救不了。这恰恰是梦中最真实的映照，艺术家带来了一场可见但不可触的事件，梦境与现实在黑色的空间中糅杂在一起，诱使人们解读它，解救他。

在中国，人们相信亲人会因思念在梦中归来与自己团聚。 无论真实与否，它象征着人们对万物有灵的浪漫信念，即肉体湮灭，灵魂永存。
