Author: CHAMO Publisher: Bright Light Culture Size: 170mm x 220mm Pages: 192 ISBN: 978-988-8884-49-0 Publication Date: June 2025 [Synopsis] Following her previous book, "My Thoughts and Drawings on Hong Kong Creatures," CHAMO now turns her artistic eye to the everyday architecture of Hong Kong. She shares, "I've always loved drawing Hong Kong. This time, I wanted to capture the old buildings we see around us. Have you ever walked past an old building, felt a sense of familiarity, but couldn't recall its name? Or perhaps, while commuting, you noticed a distinctive building, felt curious to learn more, but then forgot by the time you turned your head? Hong Kong is home to many such structures—they are understated, quietly residing on street corners, witnessing the changes in communities and the ebb and flow of people. This book aims to give them a little more space, to tell their stories, allowing us to connect with these old buildings beyond just a photograph or a place name."
