As a vehicle to reveal the identities of people other than just cover our bodies, clothes have a special meaning to me. While I saunter around the Hong Kong residential estates, especially the public houses, the sun-drying clothes hanging outside the buildings fascinate me. It is because in the open areas, the drying-rack laden with tons of personal items such as tops and bottoms, overcoats and underwear, caps and socks, and what have you are once transformed to public installation under my nose, unveiling the characters of their hosts and their families. Each item seemingly invites me to ponder over their intimate lives of Hong Kong people.

My work is to inject my perception of Hong Kong living condition to Chinese painting. In this prosperous city, people can only afford a cramped flat. My painting is intended to delineate the overloaded racks to reveal the suffocation of abysmal living conditions of Hong Kong people.

衣能蔽體,亦能揭示物主的身分;但於我而言,它給我另一層意思。每當走進香港那些住宅屋苑,大廈外牆的晾衣架,上掛的衣物,隨風飄揚,蔚為奇觀。我詫之為奇的是:那些掛著的上下衫褲,內外衣物件件均是貼身的私人物品;可是,在這公共空間裡,它們隨即成為公開之物,不但揭露出物主及其家人的個性,甚至能透視出其不為外人道的私密和生活的種種。

我的作品,就是企圖將我對香港的所觀所感灌注其中。香港這繁榮城市,人們只能承擔斗室之居;我希望透過我的面畫,借用那些不勝負荷的衣物晾架,來勾劃香港人生活的窒息與壓逼。
