Under the influence of monsoon Lupit the rain soaked streets of Prince Edward a lone tradesman repairs the wheel of a bicycle, sinus taught with years of physical labour his stall indicates that he has other skill sets other than bicycle repair.

The clutter, the apparent disarray found in the more traditional trade shops pulls the observer into the image inviting them to explore. The colour palette of orange and green unifies, calms the noise of the image into a appetizing whole.

Ling Muki Artist Statement: This collaborative piece with Dickie is particularly special to me. Through photography, we not only tell a story, but also invite viewers to imagine their own stories. In this artwork, Muki enters the real world for the first time, specifically Hong Kong, in a photograph taken by Dickie. 

While enjoying a traditional Hong Kong soft serve ice cream, she curiously watches the bicycle man work, taking in everything around her. This piece is a celebration of our vibrant and textured Hong Kong, brimming with emotions. 

By combining painting and photography, we aimed to capture the essence of this city's unique beauty and cultural diversity. Just as Hong Kong embraces different cultures and possibilities, we hope this piece inspires viewers to embrace their own uniqueness and individuality.
