夢見自己在影響人生去向的公開試中遲大到；夢見已經離開的親人精神奕奕地交代著他的後事，叫你好好照顧自己。夢境與回憶往往有著微妙而深重的關聯。透過夢，我們看見自己重新走進記憶，在似曾相識的世界裏體驗別的可能；凝視回憶，又像徘徊夢境，在過去裏觀察那些逐漸模糊的輪廓，想要抓住時間流走的步伐。

思考著夢與回憶的聯繫，藝術家創作了一個影像裝置 《夢像流域》 為本次展覽中的主要展示作品。 《夢像流域》 用上了63條來自20年前的家用錄像（VHS）片段，配合上以「夢」為創作主題——10條由數位渲染而成的抽象動畫，組成了新與舊，跨時代地對話，構成一個多頻道的擬夢空間。在這個交錯的夢象空間裏，影像流盪，夢境與記憶匯聚，形成連綿交錯的思潮流域，讓觀眾自由在內，理性觀察，感性流動。

Dreaming of arriving terribly late at a public exam that could influence your future… A departed loved one returning in full vitality to arrange personal affairs and urging you to take good care of yourself. …  Dreams and memories are often linked in ways subtle and profound. Through dreams, we revisit our memories and explore other possibilities in our familiar worlds. Conversely, gazing back at memories feels like wandering in a dream, where we observe the fading outlines of the past and try to grasp at the flow of time.

Reflecting on the connection between dreams and memories, the artist created a video installation titled The River Basin of Dream-like Images as the central artwork for this exhibition. This centre piece, which consists of 63 segments of home video system’s (VHS) footage from 20 years ago, will interact with 10 abstract animation pieces rendered under the theme of dreams. This setup creates a cross-generational dialogue between the old and the new, forming a multi-channel space. Within this interwoven dream-like space, images flow, dreams and memories converge, forming a continuous, intersecting river basin of thought. The audiences may then move freely within the streams, observing rationally and flowing emotionally.
