ABOUT SZE

Hailing from Hong Kong and currently based in the UK, I have decided to continue my artistic journey by setting up various art projects and writing articles to provide my experiences and views to you alongside my school work.

​

My passion for art perhaps originates from my inherent need to express. I view it as a non-verbal language incorporating with our emotions, in which feelings must then be the signals involved in this communication process.

Through practices of using different art forms, drawing and painting my ideas and thoughts regularly, I have found that art not only explores a path to better understanding of people and myself but also creates a world of fantasy that can be shared with you.

Featured Projects

"The Heart Project"

The HEART project explored the unfortunate experiences of strangers in their lives by offering an opportunity to share them in a creative way.  In Sai Kung, Hong Kong,  I carried out a day of performance during which strangers could interact by responding the question, "what is the most unhappy event you have been through?". They were given pens to write on my heart-shaped costume, which is made of acrylic board. The performance was then documented into a video, along with an explanatory clip about the process, from gathering inspirations to the finished form. They are now available on YouTube.

​

The aim of this project was to lead to self-reflection for the audiences who watch the video, after understanding the difficulties that other people have encountered, some of which may feel relatable to their own experiences. The final scene creates an impactful moment, questioning the audiences about what they would say to themselves if they could go back in their saddest time -whether to reassure themselves by saying, ‘you will be fine’ or else, there is no certain answers. To embrace the past and accept themselves in this special aspect as a person eventually converts into an everlasting light, shining from the crack of a scar.

​

"Art Materials Project"

​

The purpose of this project is to obtain funds by selling my own paintings in order to purchase better art materials to work with. The project started without any art materials, expect from a few canvases and paints. Thus, the first stage of this project was to seek materials that could enable me to paint roughly, as simple as cardboard and cotton buds, while saving to purchase paintbrushes that could refine what I had drawn. To create without proper art tools was one of the challenges throughout the initial stage of the project; however, I believe that simple tools can still create a masterpiece.

​

The project starts again soon once it is over. Therefore, this is a PROJECT LIFECYCLE that repeats again and again, leading to improvements in equipment and artworks with every end of the project.​
