Brand Name : ChungMingHei Work Title : GEI Qinglou, is traditionally regarded as an obscene place where prostitutes (Gei) work, namely, the courtesan house. However, this interpretation is found to be biased and superficial if we take essential but neglected historical and cultural events into account. The inspiration of this work comes from this misunderstood term in which I have found the valuable essence of Chinese culture that is worth to be passed on generation after generation. Inheriting the tradition is the key to both a certain culture and a nation. Therefore, it is our responsibility to pass on the merits while removing the debris.

Brand Name : GONG GUSI Work Title : GAN1 Beyond communication, language is the carrier of cultures and the habitat of identities. This project acts as a conceptual form of documentary dedicated to the mother tongue of Hong Kong, Cantonese. The title symbolises and embodies Cantonese’s irreplaceable status and essence that closely intertwines with local cultures, identities, history, values and lifestyles in Hong Kong. Through exploring the aesthetics of the Cantonese spoken language and the Traditional Chinese characters, the core values behind this work are to raise awareness on the need and the urge to protect, pass on and to inherit this valuable language.
