My work is inspired by my favorite movie, Happy Together. I used the character Ho Po-wing as a prototype and combined it with my personal identity and my travels in Europe. My work aims to discuss the human desire to create chaos and reshape order in chaos, and the importance of these two things in the history of mankind and the formation of personal identity.
