At the center of Mei’s practice is attention. She attends to texture—how sunlight slants across a wooden floor, how a city scent shifts when rain begins, how the same phrase takes on different colors in the mouths of different people.

Mei’s pieces are populated by small actions—untied shoelaces, a folded note, a delayed answer to a call—that compound into emotional logic. The accumulation of these details creates a kind of intimacy that asks the reader or viewer to slow down and, in so doing, to reconsider what is worthy of imprint.
