The work combines two contradictory ideas like an oxymoron.
The objects are codependent and at the same time self-limiting. The removable and temporary features such as screws and aluminum tubes implies the relationship of both locking and releasing at any time. Seeking each other through the gaps, attempting to find stability in the obscurity.

Artist Statement

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Hannah Ho ka kei obtained her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Ceramics at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (co-presented with Hong Kong Art School) in 2023. Hannah’s ceramics often juxtapose found objects, particularly architectural material samples she has collected from the design projects at her workplace. Her work evokes structures that form a cityscape.

Through her personal experience and interaction with the city, Hannah infuses her ceramics with a sense of authenticity and emotional connection. Her artworks become a visual narrative of her relationship with the places she depicts, allowing viewers to glimpse at the interplay between her memories, impressions and the very own coordinates that she generates.
