Victoria Harbour is a defining feature of my childhood home, Hong Kong, a place of movement, trade, and identity. In this work, that familiar landscape is interrupted by a looming black square—a force that is both present and consuming. The structured void unsettles the delicate balance of the city, reflecting the tension between permanence and erasure, belonging and displacement. The softened, dissolving edges of the skyline suggest a city in flux, mirroring the instability I have witnessed from afar. The black square becomes a stand-in for both the weight of history and the collective presence of those who once filled the streets, dressed in black, resisting forces that sought to redefine their home. This painting is not just about protest; it is about memory, absence, and the spaces we fight to preserve.
