my perspective

I was born in Hong Kong, have lived in Asia, Europe and North America before working on 9_9 in Italy.

Life has been about the place without but even more about the space within.

I seek adventure in the ordinary and simplicity in the extraordinary.

Art helps everyone. Being an artist is a privilege and being one bears a responsibility.

Globalisation, migration and consumerism among many common human issues have generated questions

on our identity and reality as individuals and in relation to the others.

Following Fragments of Grey Matter, 9_9 is a sequel attempt in examining the multi-layered

questions of identity and reality through relating with other artists and expressing "our"

identity through our shared self-portraits.

It is a symbolic expression of our collective search of our voice in a shared humanity.

We can all be Artists in Life.
