‘What do you want to stay with you if you are leaving a place?’

In May 2021, Wong Chung-Wai left Hong Kong with his family to begin a new life in the UK. During the six months prior to their departure he had wandered the city alone using his camera to create an imprint of those things he could not take with him.

  • ‘These photos were initially intended to record the present moment, but now they seem more to depict the past, and tell the future.’

    ‘You may ask the reason for the shared fate of these two generations, uprooting themselves from their homelands. I would answer that this was not an outright rebellion—we did not dare—but rather a kind of stubbornness, a refusal to be deceived.’

    - Wong Chung-Wai
