Wordview (Wenziguan) (Solo Display of Cheung Chu-yin Cyrus)
Period: 20 February to 3 March 2023
In the prologue of Shuowen Jiezi, Xushen explained that the Chinese word “wen” refer to pictograms, while the Chinese word “zi” refers to the words developed later for more complicated usage. The word “guan” has lots of meanings, namely, observation, value, and Daoist temple. With the combination of these different meanings, not only does it bring the topics of his work, but also conclude his research in these four years. Cyrus Cheung was born in 2001 and graduated from Raimondi College in 2019. He is a fourth-year student from the Department of Fine Art in CUHK. During his undergraduate study, he exchanged to the University of Leeds in the UK. Also, he has been concentrated in Chinese calligraphy and seal carving. Because of their variable shapes, their simple and unsophisticated style, he was intrigued by the ancient seal scripts. His work mainly focuses on the application of Chinese characters, for example, analects, mythological texts, and names.

We are all Spiritual Beings (Solo Display of Ho Chi-wing)
Period: 6 to 17 March 2023
Ho Chi-wing was born in 2001 and is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Art degree in CUHK, graduating in 2023. Her artistic practice includes performance art, installation, moving images and text. Her artworks mainly revolve around issues of the family of origin, religion and intimacy, opening her “internal” eyes, looking into the depths of “self”, and pondering each life stage to achieve self-healing and reflection. She sees herself as a facilitator and often invites people into her art practices for interaction, direct dialogue, and deep connections. For her, creation is the process of opening the “internal” eye, peeling off the inner layer by layer, until only the central core is left, and solving the process of how people “pass through”.
Meteor on the Heart: Ceramics Journaling Along the Cancer Journey (Solo Display of Wu Wai-wa)

Wisdom Tooth (Solo Display of Ching Ue-wa)
Period: 3 to 14 April 2023
Wisdom Tooth speaks out about the unspeakable trauma of childhood but also reminds me of becoming more mature over all these years. Facing the pain should be the only way to break free from it. It is better to remove the tooth and end the torture rather than keeping the pain inside. Wisdom tooth sprouts during adolescence, most likely bringing you discomfort and aches. Although wisdom tooth is not an immediate health threat, you know perfectly well the agony of the incessant pain. To end the years-long suffering, once and for all, drum up the courage and have it removed.
