Artists Statements
Daphne Alexis Ho
Daphne Alexis Ho’s work has been exhibited in Melbourne, Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing, Sanya and Hong Kong. Her work is characterised by a strong and elegiac quality, the outcome of the artist’s focus on zen aesthetics, such as the concepts of mono no aware (the pathos of things), wabi (subdued, austere beauty), sabi (rustic patina), and ma (interval).
Capturing the impermanent nature of life, Ho’s monochromatic landscapes evoke profound emotional sensibilities, ushering in a worldview where the familiar and mundane becomes poetic, and at times erratic, reveries of time.
Daphne Alexis Ho is a graduate of Bachelor of Fine Art (2011) and Master of Fine Art (2014) at Hong Kong Art School x RMIT, and Doctor of Philosophy (2018) at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia.

Letitia Chan
Letitia Chan, graduated from Hong Kong Art School in 2024. Being a ceramics major she explores the intricate and macroscopic beauty of nature through her works in clay. Her pieces are a reflection of her connection with the natural world. With a keen eye for details, Letitia’s creations highlight the delicate intricacies that often go unnoticed.
Through her art, she aims to shine light on the beauty that can be found in even the tiniest elements of nature. Letitia’s work invites viewers to appreciate the subtle yet remarkable elements of the natural world, and offers a moment to take a break from the “concrete jungle” we call home.

Her diverse photographic techniques and media serve as conduits for conveying her feelings, emotions, and memories tied to the people, places, and objects she encounters. Maria’s works embrace the poetic beauty of the imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete – reflecting the inexorable erosion of time.
