THE VIEWING ROOM SHOWCASES SZELIT CHEUNG’S INGENUITY ON THE THEME OF “VOID”.  HIS WORK EXPLORES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPACE, CHIAROSCURO, AND HUES THROUGH A MINIMAL SETTING, REFLECTING ON THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ONE'S SELF AND ENVIRONMENT.

THROUGH HIS DELICATE PRESENTATION, CHEUNG IS ABLE TO PROVIDE NEW MEANING TO INCONSPICUOUS MOMENTS AND OBJECTS, OFFERING THE AUDIENCE ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE TO APPROACHING THEIR DAILY LIVES.

"VOID IS A PART OF THE COMMUNICATION PROCESS BECAUSE OUR BRAIN FILLS IN THE MISSING PIECES. IN OTHER WORDS, COMMUNICATION AND IDEAS ARE BORN OUT OF EMPTINESS."

- KENYA HARA IN SHIRO
