Hide-and-Seek is a traditional children’s game full of joy and fun. But in this video, an isolated female was covering her face slowly like the time when she plays Hide-and-Seek. The gloomy and oppressive atmosphere (mute) creates the feeling of nihility and insecurity. These are the representations of our responses in the postmodern era. We are now living in a world full of uncertainty and insecurity; our lives are full of multiplicities and possibilities. The individuals are isolated from the uncertain surroundings.

Her works have been collected by the Hong Kong Heritage Museum and private collections in the UK, Italy, Canada, America, Australia and Hong Kong.
