In this vibrant city, culture and art flow like a gentle stream, enriching our lives. After a year of meticulous preparation, I am thrilled to once again  present my second solo exhibition at Touch Gallery, "Fish Wishes." This exhibition not only continues my artistic journey but also pays heartfelt homage to the rich culture of Hong Kong.

 

In Chinese culture, auspicious symbols carry profound meanings, representing comfort and blessings. Over time, these symbols have gradually woven themselves into our daily lives, becoming an integral part of our spirit. In Hong Kong, auspicious culture is omnipresent, reflected in everything from home decorations to social etiquette, showcasing people's aspirations for a beautiful life.

 

My fascination with fish stems from their unique symbolism and vitality. As early as the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2011, I designed a colourful lantern installation called "Lantern Wonderland" in Victoria Park. This piece not only celebrated the vibrancy of fish but also expressed my admiration for life itself. While fish are often depicted as culinary delights in Western art, in Chinese culture, they embody a deeper spirituality, symbolising prosperity and hope.

 

In this exhibition, I will debut my clay sculpture works, marking a new exploration in my artistic expression. The flexibility and malleability of clay allow me to vividly capture the essence of life in my creations. Each piece reflects my profound contemplation on existence and serves as a blessing for you all.

 

I sincerely hope that while viewers appreciate these works, they can also feel the transformative power of art and share in my blessings for Hong Kong. Let us together experience the beauty that springs from culture and explore the limitless possibilities that art brings to our lives.
