Whispering Canopies
November 25, 2023 - January 6, 2024
WHAT
The exhibition is inspired by the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens and the Hong Kong artist’s exposure to Dutch and Japanese colonial histories during a residency in Taiwan. A thoughtful exploration featuring urban landscapes, memorial gardens, and local flora, the presentation showcases a new series titled ‘Tree Portraits’, reflecting the artist’s fascination with trees as silent witnesses to city development and societal events.
WHY
The exhibition offers a unique lens to appreciate the role of ancient trees in chronicling the evolution of cities and societal events, serving as visual narratives of forgotten histories. In addition, it is an invitation to engage in a reflective exploration of self and environment.
