“Communication can not always take place through language. In fact more often than not, the sincerest confessions come from the most surprising of gestures. For its meticulous structure, and for its very controlled and trenchant gaze, we would like to give special mention to Johnson Cheng's LONELY BLUE NIGHT.”
