POSTCARD Set of 9 | Unspoken Stories, Unsung Heroes

Dimension: 149 mm x 108 mm
 
This set features my most recent and most precious additions telling the stories of twilight industries in Hong Kong —part of my ongoing series titled "Unspoken Stories, Unsung Heroes".

Capturing a moment in a time of rapid change, these watercolor sketches pay tribute to the inspiring men and women whose lifetime of devotion are keeping Hong Kong's fading traditional industries alive. Often with few or no successors, most of these trades are believed to become history within this decade and disappear entirely with this generation of skilled artisans and craftsmen.

Each one brings to life real stories of (extra)ordinary people whose dedication weaves into the rise of Hong Kong as well as the rich cultural heritage that makes Hong Kong so uniquely Hong Kong.
