The Chinese character 靈 (Ling) evokes ancient shamans who once prayed and danced to connect the spirits, the heavens and the Earth. They prayed for rain. Rain is water, and water flows with all human emotions and sentiments.

For this year’s Higher Diploma in Fine Art graduating cohort, artistic creation serves as a ritualistic medium for intimate, honest inner dialogue. Transforming intangible feelings, personal reflections and private spiritual experiences into tangible artworks, the graduates extend their individual self-exploration into the public artistic sphere. Each piece documents their journey of self-observation, discovery and self-actualisation.

We invite you to visit the exhibition to explore the conceptual essence of ‘Ling’ and celebrate the authentic creative vitality of our Higher Diploma in Fine Art graduating students.

Venue: The Gallery (10/F) & The Showcase (15/F), Hong Kong Arts Centre
