One Life One Dream series, "Realm" (蕾絲書法 —境)

Curator

Luke Chapman

Hong Wai's "World" from the "One Life One Dream" series transcends traditional artistic boundaries, melding the delicate intricacy of lace with the profound strokes of calligraphy to redefine notions of strength and fragility. By folding the characters for "World" into dynamic mountainous forms, the artwork invites viewers into a visual duality - a landscape that transforms into language upon closer inspection. Through this innovative fusion of materials and meaning, Hong Wai challenges conventional gender and cultural norms, urging us to navigate the intricate layers of identity and memory embedded within the sculptural terrain of "World."
