‘Receding Scenery’ describes a familiar physical experience: as a vehicle moves forward, the scenery outside appears to drift backward. Rather than nostalgia, Hazel WONG Mei Yin’s works grow from this shifting perspective, reflecting the uncertainty, thoughts, and emotions of being in transit.
Wong’s practice is shaped by her recent life between Sapporo and Hong Kong. Long hours spent travelling—as both passenger and driver—have turned the interior of the vehicle into a space for quiet observation. Frequent relocation has made movement central to her work. While the landscapes she paints refer to real places, they also carry personal memory and feeling, revealing her ongoing interest in distance, time, and human connection.
