The title of this work came from a HK indie band My Little Airport’s album named Poetics between Montparnasse and Mongkok, which contains a sense of the French romantic things are unrealistic in HK. so as well as being an artist. For me, I chased my dreams once in France, but as an artist finally find myself settle down in Vancouver is a opposite way of my favorite HK band try to express. A metaphor of paradox and circulation of life, no matter where you are and what you fighting for in the life.

A Place Called Home Series starts from this work. A question of “Where is my true home” is being asked especially for Chinese diaspora, for whom home is a core value of their traditional culture.
