Hong Kong Icon
Hong Kong Icon, a research and creative project designed for young locals to expand their interpretation of the identity of their hometown Hong Kong. The project included 60 young locals and composed of a creative workshop and an exhibition.

The Forbidden City
The Forbidden City, an exhibition held by the Zuni Icosahedron, a Hong Kong visual art and theatre organisation. The Forbidden City is the largest ancient palatial structure in the world. It was home to 24 Chinese emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. By introducing the ancient Chinese palace, the exhibition was aim to promote to the public the very supremacy of Chinese architectures and culture.
Inspired by its architectural characteristics of the Forbidden City, I have designed a series of graphics by distilling and transforming the symbols and motifs found in the architecture. By representing the facts and data of the architectural feature, resulted in a graphic style that are simplified and direct, which are modern but still contains it’s Chinese traditions of the Forbidden City.

Memormail
In Chinese funeral cultural, we burn paper made goods to the relatives and friends who has passed away. In traditions, these goods including clothes, house, maids, money. And in modern development, the funeral paper good vendors start to make gadgets such as iPod, Playstation, luxury goods such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton handbags for the dead.
Memormail is the graduation project of my bachelor degree study from 2006 to 2007. Instead of providing them the materialistic life like we had when we are living, I proposed an alternative way of showing our care and missing to the passed away relatives, by writing them a letter to talk to them.
The outcome includes a kit of letterhead and delivery, and the space designed for writing, communicate, meditate and to think of our passed away relatives and friends; resonate with the traditional form of burning incense for the passed away.
