“the slits in life”
"My memory is always fermenting, turning a one-minute moment into a ten-minute fantasy the size of a rectangular loaf of bread" — James Wood, The Nearest Thing to Life
Time's extension, being elusive, makes this blank space constitute life itself. Rui hopes to convey a calm energy, explain the existence and reality of the present moment.
Corridors wedged between walls, the thigh gap ("bixia") when legs are closed, the process of brewing and stewing food—like anticipating and waiting within life's slits.
Returning vitality to ordinary things, overcoming time's dilution through long, steady emotions, grounding love in reality.
Perhaps spiral love is the optimal solution—overhead, the repeating lines, circular cycles bring happiness; observed from another angle, its trajectory constantly rises, perhaps monotonous but not tiresome or dull.
Turning "boredom" into a romance within simple, mundane trivialities.
“我的记忆总是不停地发酵，把一分钟的时刻变成长方形面包大小的十分钟的幻想”——詹姆斯·伍德《最接近生活的事物》
时间的延续因其不可捕捉而使得这种留白构成了生活本身，Rui希望传递一种平静的能量，阐释当下的存在与真实。
走廊夹在墙与墙的问隙中，髀罅指的是大腿并扰时双腿间的缝，酿造和炖煮食物的过程就像是在生活的缝隙中期盼和等待。
将生命力还给平凡的事物，在绵长平稳的情感中克服时间的稀释，把爱落到实处。
也许螺旋形态的爱是最优解——俯瞰下重复的线条、圆形的循环让人幸福，从另一侧观察它的轨迹在不断上升，可能单调但并非使人厌倦与乏味。
在简单朴实的琐事中把“无聊”变成一种浪漫。
