To: Dream is a series of three pieces of curtains together as an installation created by Leung from 2019 to 2021. The theme is the artist’s impressive dreamscape. The word “to” in To: Dream is an adverb and also a preposition.
The concept of To: Dream is about self-integration through understanding the unconscious in dreams. On one hand, dreams are a montage of images and feelings of Leung. The image appears in layers of curtain revealing her unconsciousness. On the other hand, dreams are realistic journeys for Leung. Leung sees dream as a bridge to connect with her father as Leung burnt a letter to her departed father to make visitations in dreams when she was young.
Leung has had no dreams for four years since she started to work. In that period, Leung worked seven days a week. She has one full-time job and two part time jobs a month. Like many working class people, her life is only working for a living. Leung after quitting the jobs and going back to college, she started having dreams that she felt so real and impacted her for days. She saw the dreams as an admonition from her inside. The process of painting and sewing curtains as a way of praying to have more dreams. The action of closing the curtain symbolizes the happen of dreams. It is a celebration and commemoration for the artist. The size of each curtain is 180 cm width and 150 cm height. It is according to the window in Leung’s bedroom.
