Art critic Beate von Reifenscheid, in an essay about her, wrote that: "Xiao Hui Wang's photography has been characterized by an especially penetrating quality of vision – one that tells us about people, about the contexts of their lives, about existence at the limits of psychological endurance, about loneliness and despair.
However, she also traces the beauty of the human figure in her photos, the erotic tension between man and woman, the lives of women in seedy 'clubs', and even the eroticism of flowers, whose charged sexuality goes beyond that of Robert Mapplethorpe's black-and-white photographs".
