Another Round - Re-imagining COVID-19

Period: Aug 17 - 31, 2022

Venue: Pao Galleries, 5/F., Hong Kong Arts Centre, Hong Kong

Curator Statement: Just like this we have made it through two years, but to be honest, no one knows how much longer we may have to endure. To wish everyone good health and may the pandemic soon pass, Maria Cheung collected different styles of masks from various people to weave a folk blessing item - the patchwork quilt, and then photographed it for display in this exhibition. As the production process requires considerable effort, this simple work has a moving sense of humility and earnestness.
