Art is a wonderful means to convey one's affection.
TK missed her years living in Scotland, and wanted to recall her old memories of people and places after her return to Hong Kong. Simon recalled his travelling experiences between mountains and rivers, and longed for a life in the wonderland. Rebecca would like to achieve her dream, and is looking forward to the future.
In this exhibition, the three Hong Kong artists have injected their thoughts and imagination into their works, and allow the viewers to enter their inner world, as well as to share their memories and wishes.
Art is always on my mind.
