"If I had to assign myself a role in life, I would define myself as a traveler and observer of a world whose individuals, objects, and nature arouse in me an endless curiosity. For as long as I can remember, I have always had a keen interest in how each person and each family builds a distinct way of life, in the paths taken towards self-realization and self-improvement.

In the objects of the world, it is rather the provenance, the creation, the story of their experience, and the place they occupy that challenge me. As for nature, I find in each flower, each plant, and each tree - in the trajectories of growth, in the change of seasons - a nameless spirituality that constantly renews my wonder. That is why I see in each thing a master who can teach me what only he knows. I am here in this world as an apprentice, here to befriend these souls in multiple forms, to break the binary conception of the world that limits us to flat appearances, to open my mind to learn, discover, and enter into dialogue with the plurality of existences.

It is in my case through singing, the brush, and the camera that I often succeed - to capture this perception of the soul in an image, to replicate the inner flow on a canvas, to communicate my temperament to whoever listens. My work essentially expresses what I perceive of the world, nothing more, nothing less. It goes without saying that the work of each creator closely corresponds to the life he leads. One could even say that the work is the very state of life of the author, which connects him to the world. In my case, I see my mediums only as tools to explore my current understanding of the world, a bridge for learning, and not an end in itself. The premise that, in my opinion, prevails far beyond the tool is to remain perfectly authentic to one's identity, to constantly renew this freedom of the soul to travel its path without the hindrance of judgment."

Lekui is an interdisciplinary photographer artist with a degree in art and design whose artistic emancipation began in the historic capital of Hangzhou, China. A graduate in design from Wuhan University, it was after a fruitful decade dedicated to portrait, interior furniture, music scene, and fashion photography that she gradually reoriented herself towards abstract photographic and painted art, ultimately making the leap to establish her studio in Montreal at the dawn of 2021. Human expression, notably depicted by her grainy monochrome photographs, is a tender ode to the Japanese Provoke movement, and her large-format paintings seek to reinterpret the acrylic pouring technique from a more Taoist and serene perspective, bringing together earthy tones and a mastery of the "single gesture." She simultaneously and with equal ease approaches several other disciplines, including storytelling, poetry, theatrical costume design, wire portraiture, life drawing, and oil pastels.
