This is a contemplative piece, driven by my ongoing interest in themes of transcendence and spirituality. I’m often reflecting on how the wellness and self-help industries capitalize on people's search for meaning. The work delves into these complex ideas, exploring the tension between genuine spiritual pursuit and the commercialization of personal growth.

  • Timothy Hon Hung Lee is a British-born Chinese artist whose work explores themes of self-identity, heritage, and the intersection of Eastern and Western perspectives. His paintings, often created on Chinese rice paper or canvas, utilise techniques like layering and abstraction to evoke ambiguity and temporal displacement. By weaving symbols and objects rich in cultural and spiritual significance into his compositions, Lee prompts us to reflect on the relevance of historical traditions and cultural semiotics in contemporary society.
