On 25th June, the last day of the graduation showOld and new collide
Drap in a dress, a frail frame bent like a chair
Strolling up from the sloping road to the entrance of AVAReturning to the show

Deceptive ploy
To patronize, to punish
Hidden under a smug facade
Whom turned a blind eye to
Hanging on a clear plastic chair, like a statue

In the sunshower
Stepping into the shrine
For three hours

Little by little
It's still ticking inside, lingering,

六月二十五日，畢業展的最後一天
是舊是新
身穿長裙，拖著屈曲成椅子的瘦弱
身驅從觀塘道斜路口踱步走上AVA正門
回到畢業展

謊話當前
是懲罰、是戲弄
微笑說你好
無視
依舊架著透明塑膠椅子，如雕塑

太陽雨下
直至踏進聖殿的入口
為時三小時

小小的，小小的
裏頭還在滴嗒滴，滴嗒滴，

Tracy Kwok was born in Hong Kong, and obtained her BA in Visual Arts from the Academy of Visual Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University in 2022. She describes herself as a "digger" that delves into her deepest childhood memories through shadow work. She excavates fragments hidden within ruins, and scattered around survival and loss. She explores the paradoxical nature of love and violence, and the relationship between self and the primitive through mediums ranging from performance art, photography, and videography. She draws inspiration from religions and horror movies, both of which provide avenues for the intricacies of human experience. The color red holds a special fascination for the artist and has become a signature of her. The way she presents is fragility, gloom, and hope.

郭曉嵐出生於香港。她於2022年在香港浸會大學視覺藝術院取得學士學位。她自稱為一名「挖掘者」，透過掘取自己最深層的童年記憶，挖掘匿藏於廢墟中的零碎，游走離散於倖存和缺失。她通過行為藝術、攝影和錄像探索愛與暴力的悖論關係以及自我與原生的關聯。她從宗教和恐怖電影中汲取靈感，從而探索人類經驗中的複雜性。她特別著迷於紅，對她而言，紅是她的代表色，她所呈現的是脆弱、是沉重、也是希望。
