"Human beings always try to make sense of what we see having a strong desire to identify things. However, this is exactly what I would not do while creating the artworks. I avoid presuming what objects I need or what my artworks should look like, I simply rely on the intuitive connections I have with the objects from the street or thrift shops and let them tell me what they are."
Mak Yung Ka (b. 1993 ) is pursuing her Master of Fine Arts from the School of Creative Media at City University of Hong Kong. Mak Yung Ka is inspired by abandoned, old or broken objects as they carry both vulnerability and power when they veer off from their discernability and function. Like how a dying wave soon realises it is the core of a vast ocean, these objects are in themselves everything else. Being in this blurry state of existence makes the interconnectedness of all things more prominent.
