Snapshots of the infamous public housing estates in Hong Kong. Growing up in Hong Kong, I have witnessed the soaring of property prices through the years.

A self portrait inspired by Haruki Murakami’s novel of the same title. This piece depicts the idea of colorless personalities within humans; what gives us colors is in fact the environment.

The left part inspired by Rodin’s sculpture. The bananas painted in color act as a symbol of trivial matters in life that constrain one’s scope to divulge their own colors.
