Life Inside China is calm, neutral, and observational — but quietly devastating. It shows, without saying, how surveillance becomes normal… How silence becomes safety… And how freedom fades not with violence, but with optimization.

By his early 20s, at London's prestigious Saint Martin's art school, Gill was entrenched in his addiction.
