'Strait is the Gate' is the duo exhibition of artists Lean Lui and Yasmine Huang Anlan, exploring their shared language of girlhood, femininity and innocence. In this presentation of their recent works, Lui’s photography captures static objects and bodies treading between purity and danger, while Huang’s films and installation animate a softness in language to uncover narratives of nuanced violence which connect the personal to the worldly. Constantly tipping over the threshold, they reclaim a subversive dream space where pre-existing power structures are examined and unsettled. Their portrayal of ethereal yet emotionally complex young girls invokes vulnerability as agency, enabling outward confessions and inward pursuits of truths.​
