By appropriation (may be Kuso or Neta in other contexts), I used free association to collect the images available to any 30-plus native-born Hong Kong inhabitant and collage them on canvas. Those images comprise the collective memory of the Hong Kong people (such as public housing estate culture, the changing landscape of Hong Kong, the “one country, two systems” dilemma), popular culture, ACG elements and currently active politicians, etc. My paintings, which can readily be understood as the visual dairy of a young Hong Kong artist from the post-70s generation, serve as the hyperlinks showing the vision of the world of those post-70s artists.
