Hong Kong Lines and Patterns
“Hong Kong Lines and Patterns” comes with the compositional approach of isolating urban subjects and geometric elements from the mundane yet chaotic urban environment of his hometown. Nevertheless, those subjects look trapped and lost inside an artificial geometric labyrinth without realising it. The sense of confinement in which the urban structure crashes the people, enclosing them into small boxes with no way out, is suggestive of the modern condition of how we succumb to the glory of the urban landscape, which is also a product of our creation. Perhaps his images are a metaphorical view of urbanity while also implying the melancholic romance of hectic modern city life in a metropolis like Hong Kong.
