Artist Statement
Wenda likes to borrow different motifs to show the alternative of Hong Kong, she wants to reserve what is being disappeared and forgotten. She combines the old map with a contemporary approach, she blurs the outline of the history and tries to redefine what is the meaning of our culture.
Through the art-making process, she intervene with map-making and illustrations, with a view to bringing forth Hong Kong’s history and culture, and deepening people’s identification with the land. She also pay attention to nature and humanity.
