Judy Kong

I sit, I peek, I stay

Judy Kong recreate an emotional scene triggered while living abroad — a night returning home, where faint murmurs and soft lights emanate from a neighbor's house. Judy perceives unfamiliar sounds and images in familiar surroundings, evoking her desire to peek into local life as an outsider. Across different upbringings, languages, and cultures, there exists a gap in understanding between people from different cultures, bringing Judy to explore her belonging. Through the abstraction of sound, objects, light, and space, she depicts feelings of alienation, as well as a sense of loss from cultural boundaries that she is trying to overcome between one another.

Exhibited in the group exhibition Unpacking at Hong Kong Arts Centre.
