Yu Chi Cheung

I create to express my feelings that stem from lifelong observation. “Therefore, I am” is about the realisation of our existences through the commemoration of moments in memory. It exists as a colourful mosaic of both tiles and vessels. I work with intricacy to emphasise the significance of insignificance of our mundane moments, and how it makes up the big picture in our existences.

My work explores the digital and mental forms of how we archive memory through surface design. My work exists within a contemporary context, with the usage of ceramic decals and digital drawings of personal photography. It is a display of recollection and a metaphorical storage. Colour is used to represent emotions and how they relate to memory, and the philatelic influences highlight the theme of commemoration and collection.
