WONG Yuen-man, Naomi

BIOGRAPHY

We feel things; we get touched by them; they become scattered memories which will eventually fade out of our mind. We experience our world every day through our senses and that will become our memories. We forget and sometimes later we remember.

The world is constantly changing, so is our mind.

Naomi Wong uses flowing water as her metaphor of momentary feelings. She selects, edits and transforms her past experience into sentimental symbols. By recreating images in her paintings, she relives her memories and emotion to investigate the existence of life. Does our experience leave or stay in this long river of time?

What Wong presents on her canvases is like poetry: the cityscapes and landscapes which we have walked through have all become parts of our lives.
