Sansiao Gallery HK is pleased to announce A Room of One’s Own, opening on 29 May, as the first chapter of our 2025 exhibition series.

This year, our exhibitions consider themes of gender, individuality within society, and the quiet release from roles shaped by unconscious expectations. A Room of One’s Own brings together three artists whose practices speak to these ideas with sincerity and depth.

Sumiko Iwaoka explores shifting ideals of female beauty through a dialogue between classical art history and contemporary culture. Her works highlight the subtle tensions that arise when enduring notions of beauty meet the passing nature of daily life.

Kaoru Taguchi works with painting and woodblock print to create layered compositions that reflect on the everyday, religious iconography, and memory. Her process of carving and reworking surfaces allows for a re-encounter with images—both personal and inherited.

Alongside their work, we are pleased to present JUST A REFLECTION by Tracey Emin, from our collection. Emin’s presence in the exhibition expands the conversation around self-expression, vulnerability, and the complexity of personal freedom.

The exhibition is rooted in a personal reflection on how deeply internalised roles—especially around gender—can shape our perception of self. It invites viewers into a space for quiet observation and considers what it means to be free, as an individual, in today’s world.
