More than an exhibition, "Imprints of Time" is a living dialogue—one that dissolves the boundaries between past and future, weaving Hong Kong’s collective memory into its unfolding narrative. Featuring ten artists spanning generations from post-80s to Gen-Z, this exhibition excavates the intimate interplay between personal identity and the city’s soul. Their works transcend individual expression, becoming resonant echoes of Hong Kong culture: its layered history, its restless reinventions, and the quiet persistence of selfhood amid ceaseless change.

In this city of perpetual motion, transformation itself becomes muse. Each artwork stands as a temporal waypoint—a witness to vanished moments, a vessel for fragile beauty suspended before dissolution. Through drawing, oil painting, sculpture, and installation, the artists map Hong Kong’s cultural alchemy, translating its hybrid heritage into visual poetry.

Ling Wai Shan’s meditative canvases conjure stillness, gifting viewers pockets of serenity within urban clamour.

Kwong Man Chun reimagines cityscapes through the lens of classical East Asian aesthetics, stitching centuries of artistic tradition into contemporary vistas.

The dialogue between Chow Chun Fai’s vanishing streetscapes and Lewis Lee’s cross-border urban portraits mirrors the dance of preservation and progress, while their works whisper of nature’s quiet reclamations.

Angela Yuen’s light installations crystallize the city’s ephemeral glow, whereas Kila Cheung’s bold sculptural forms stage a joyful rebellion against artistic convention.

Diasporic perspectives unfold through Peter Hong-Tsun Chan and Jade Ching-yuk Ng’s surreal homages to Hong Kong, filtered through transatlantic longing, while Tam Kwan Yuen’s Singaporean vantage point refracts the city through unwavering cultural intimacy.

Pak Sheung Chuen’s conceptual pieces orchestrate chance encounters with time itself, framing the mundane as a theater of cosmic resonance. His oeuvre—a tender archaeology of memory—maps the invisible tensions between concrete and cloud, steel and soil.

Walking through "Imprints of Time" is to traverse a palimpsest of eras, where images reverberate across decades. The exhibition constructs a symphony of artistic voices, each movement harmonizing Hong Kong’s yesterday, today, and tomorrow. From hushed brushstrokes to pulsating installations, these works conspire to unravel the metaphysics of place—interrogating how time sculpts identity, how space cradles belonging.

Every artwork is a cultural prism. They capture not just the city’s metamorphoses, but invite viewers to inscribe their own stories onto Hong Kong’s canvas. These imprints are more than records; they are participatory acts, urging us to trace our fingers along the grooves of time and find, amidst the flux, something enduringly ours.
