In the ethereal realm of Secret Boudoir — Vanitas Series, Hong Wai masterfully intertwines the allure of ink-rendered lace with the somber symbolism of traditional Vanitas motifs. Delicately portraying lingerie, high heels, and perfume bottles alongside the stark presence of skulls, Wai's work transcends mere aesthetics to explore the transient nature of beauty and earthly pleasures. Through this collaboration with Aubade, the fusion of Wai's intricate ink artistry with the craftsmanship of French lace and Swiss embroidery unveils a hauntingly beautiful Encre de Chine lingerie collection, where fragility and opulence converge in a poignant dance of mortality and desire. This series not only showcases Wai's unique vision but also underscores the power of art to provoke introspection on the fleeting essence of human existence.
洪慧受歐洲的虛空畫（Vanitas）啟發。虛空畫（Vanitas）是一種特別的繪畫類型，多數為靜物畫，於17世紀初在荷蘭興起。通過描繪具有強烈象徵意義的寓言性物品 :例如象徵死亡的骷髏頭，枯萎的花朵則隱喻著衰老…洪慧在這個系列以水墨呈現蕾絲裝飾的內衣、高跟鞋、香水、骷髏等,乍看是迷人，卻都是虛空畫的象徵符號。這些物品的存在提醒觀眾死亡的必然性、時間的流逝、生命、青春和美麗的短暫性。同時，它們也喚起人們對世俗慾望和快樂的意義的思考。這個系列受法國著名品牌Aubade邀請合作聯名,以法國蕾絲和瑞士刺繡工藝, 詮釋洪慧的筆墨，推出Encre de Chine 內衣系列,於歐洲,美國和亞洲推出。Aubade每年都會與一位國際知名的高訂設計師合作,聯名推出特別系列,曾與Karl Lagerfeld, Iris Van Herpen,Christian Lacroix等知名設計師合作。洪慧是唯一一位純藝術家(非設計師)。)。
