Awake

Awake explores the contemporary phenomenon of youth staying up late. When daytime is consumed by academic demands and stress, the night becomes a spiritual sanctuary exclusively for young people. For most, staying up late is not an act of indulgence, but a way to achieve self-soothing and emotional healing through solitary moments in the quiet hours. This installation art discards the stereotypical judgment that "staying up late is a bad habit." Instead, it tenderly captures the serene moments of nighttime solitude, paying tribute to everyone who finds solace in the dark. The work invites viewers to recognize the healing value of being alone at night, to find inner peace in the darkness, and to greet the morning with gentle hope.
