Work naming has yet to succeed
The slogans and words plastered all over Hong Kong a year ago have now been painted over or erased, but somehow they have begun to reappear, vaguely and faintly. After the huge social movement in 2019, the freedom of speech that Hong Kong once had disappeared. To ordinary eyes, it seems to be gone, but in the eyes of the artist, it isn’t gone─it is just temporarily and subtly hidden.
From 2020 to 2024, I sought to capture the hidden words in the urban landscape, in order to convey the harsh suppression of democracy and freedom in Hong Kong and the struggle of its citizens to maintain their hope for freedom.
