Created as part of HKWALLS Mentorship programme in 2022, this piece is the analogue translation of my favourite card from The Gwai Lenormand, ‘The Star’. The piece lived around the perimeter of the Hong Kong Observation Wheel.

After several years of unrest, confusion and stress, I wanted to create a piece that could relay my well-wishes for my home city.

Inspired by the Japanese konpeito candy and the tan hua, The Star is a card of hope, aspirations, and blessings. It was created with the sentiment that hope doesn’t fall upon us like a shooting start, but perhaps is something that we can grow and nurture together.
