Hui's paintings respond to her recent family gathering during Lunar New Year in Hong Kong. The work relates to a painting series created this year that examines family reunion and parting and Hui's mixed feelings of bliss and grief in celebration and grave visiting. Blue symbolises running tears and over-flowing emotions in the series.
Hellos and goodbyes captures the scene where Hui is sitting on a plane next to the window. With light shining through the little window, Hui gazes into her heart and thinks about arriving to and departing from the two homes, Australia and Hong Kong. The thoughts and feelings are represented with blue flower pedals emerge from the seat and surrounds Hui.
