“Have you ever heard about watermelons growing in your stomach?”

“We have a same saying in Hong Kong.”

In recent years, Wong has been immersing herself in a non-native language environment, experiencing the world with a sense of wonder akin to that of a child. The constant shifts between languages, cultures, and places often result in feelings of disorientation and silence. Whether navigating her native or non-native linguistic landscapes, she encounters various forms of distance that cultivate moments of stillness, allowing for deeper feelings, observations, and listening. At times, the world seems to contract to the space around her, while at other moments, it expands infinitely. 

WONG MEI YIN HAZEL, based in Hong Kong and Sapporo, graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University. She focuses on painting and prints. Her work transforms unforgettable details from everyday life into narratives or sequential scenes.
