這件作品關於我母親手術後留在背上的疤痕，以及我創作它的原因。由於我與母親複雜的情感連結及療癒過程難以用言語表達，所以我選擇用縫線將其記錄下來。緩慢的縫紉過程讓我耐心地消化並梳理這些內在衝突。我們無法選擇誰是父母，但我們可以選擇如何消化並整理自己的情緒。

The piece is about the scar on my mother's back from her surgery, as well as the reason why I made it. Since the emotional bonding to my mother and the healing process were complicated to express verbally, I decided to stitch it down. The slow, meditative act of stitching allows me to process and navigate these conflicts with patience. While we cannot choose who to be our parents, we can choose how to settle our emotions.

Artist bio

Kate Cheung is a multidisciplinary artist based in Hong Kong, specializing in moving image, media art, textile art, and poetry. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from the School of Creative Media at City University of Hong Kong.

By merging threads, fabric, and digital imagery, Kate creates a unique visual language that conveys meaning through form and texture. Her art reflects both how and where she lives, unveiling the lingering shadows of her childhood trauma while exploring contemporary femininity. Raised in a traditional Asian family, she carries the weight of that upbringing but courageously offers her personal perspective through her artistic practice, allowing her deepest thoughts and emotions to take shape and resonate with others. 

She has been featured in prominent international events, including the Taipei Art Book Fair 2023, the 4th BOOKED: Hong Kong Art Book Fair, and the 4th Hong Kong Book Art Festival. In addition to presenting a solo talk at Lemna of The Alchemist, Kate has participated in duo exhibitions at Yrellag Gallery in 2023 and Pointsman Artspace in 2024. 
Kate Cheung畢業於香港城市大學創意媒體學院文學士，主要進行紡織藝術丶錄像藝術丶詩篇寫作及音樂創作。她將線帶到平面物料及影像中，書寫出新的語言，透過物料的本質傳達訊息。她的作品滲透著童年所殘留的創傷，同時表達了在一個傳統亞洲家庭中長大下，對現代女性的思考。如此的成長背景下，她透過不同的媒介呈現自己觀看世界的角度。
​
她於2023年在 Lemna of The Alchemist 進行個人分享，在Yrellag Gallery舉辦首個展覽，及於2024年在Pointsman Artspace 舉辦首個錄像藝術展覽。曾以筆名張見參與臺北草率季丶大館主辦的第四屆 BOOKED:香港藝術書展丶第四屆香港書本藝術節洄游言志。
