Miniature Scene

This is an epitome of our community: apartments, buses, bou-tiques, salons.

Our living environment is an outcome of consumption when things become our consumed objects. Everyday we spend according to our wish, buying goods in the shapes, colours and materials which we favour. Such commodities reveal one’s taste and inclination.

They even help to get a glimpse of a person’s character and psychological status

In this piece of art, hope to bring out my fantasy and memory of Hong Kong through the transformation and re-presentation of the things around me - a subject of the consumption activities. It is a vision of the past, present and future. It is my dream world derived from my home city.
