Title of Artwork: Portal
Art Description: A digital illustration inspired by Hong Kong’s iconic urban landscape — the Monster Building.
“For two decades, I lived in a labyrinth of concrete.
Overwhelmed, trapped and suffocated.
Amidst the cacophony of thoughts, I yearned to flee.
And find solace in a world allowing me to breathe.
Now I dwell in an urban forest, freezing and wild.
Mazed and isolated, like a lost child.
Portal, portal, takes me back home.
Wish I was there, wish I was here.”
