About Exhibition

People suspended in mid-air seem to be searching for a place to land, but no one knows for certain if this will truly happen.

Urban life tends to blur our perception of time and space. It’s not because we see the moon that we know it’s late at night, not because we feel raindrops on our faces that we know it’s raining, not because of the paths we’ve walked that we know where we are, as our reliance on screens replaces our ability to perceive.

The suspended individuals, like ordinary people, yearn for connections—with others, with their surroundings, with the world.

This exhibition delves into the metaphorical concept of “suspension”, capturing the state before one’s feet touching the ground. It explores the longing for connection.

About Artist

Ray Hui Man Coco
Born in Hong Kong in 1996, Coco Ray Hui Man obtained her BA degree (double major in Art History and German) from the University of Hong Kong in 2019. She later gained her MA degree in Fine Arts from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2021.

Taking inspiration from fragmented urban experiences, she delves into the subtle emotions embedded in the city. Her work often recreates figurative scenes of people interacting with their surroundings, capturing the ambivalent situations in everyday life. Painting is her way to understand the world, while she attempts to embrace feelings of isolation and uncertainty.
