About 

Kelly is a Hong Kong born and Naarm based artist specializing in installation and drawing. Her practice explores the affect of 'home', displacement, care and cultural identity. Based on her unsettled experience between Hong Kong and Naarm, her practice examines 'home' as a transformative concept, cohesively constructed by past, present, and future experiences. 

 

Through her art, Kelly seeks to uncover not only her personal disruption but also universal experiences, transforming her installation as a safe space for all people to encourage emotional expression, resonance and contemplation within the shared experiences. She is determined to promote the recognition of challenges that are faced by the displaced persons, especially youngsters, through the sharing of understanding and the promptness of care.
