Hong Wai’s "界 (Jie - World)" is a masterclass in artistic rebellion and reconciliation-a work that would make the ancient literati either applaud or apoplectic, possibly both. By transforming lace into the very substance of calligraphic and landscape expression, Hong Wai subverts the masculine stronghold of Chinese ink traditions with a material historically coded as feminine, turning fragility into strength and ornament into language. This innovative technique is more than a technical feat; it is a manifesto that renders boundaries-between East and West, past and future, male and female-not just porous but obsolete. In "界," the world is remade as a space of multiplicity and contradiction, where cultural nostalgia and contemporary identity pulse side by side. Hong Wai’s sculpture is not merely an object to be viewed, but a terrain to be experienced-one that insists on the beautiful impossibility of being just one thing in a world that demands multiplicity.
境.界:将「境」和「界」字的笔划折叠成起伏山势,让作品远观是山水,鸟瞰时才看到「境界」二字。感受不同视觉不同境界观点所看到的,各有其真意
