Snow Chung: Still, There Is Light at Major Pop


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Hong Kong–based sand artist Snow Chung will present her new solo exhibition, Still, There Is Light, from 25 February to 3 March 2026 at Major Pop Art on Sai Street, Sheung Wan. Revisiting 15 cityscapes across Hong Kong, Chung transforms familiar places and her brief yet warm encounters with strangers into 15 sand painting artworks presented in illuminated light boxes. Using sand as her paint and light as her canvas, the exhibition captures fleeting moments of human connection, quiet warmth, and a deeply personal journey of reflection and inner stillness.

The works draw inspiration from Chung’s journeys through well-known yet everyday locations across Hong Kong, including Monster Building, Temple Street, Stone Slab Street (Pottinger Street), and Choi Hung Estate. Rather than depicting architectural landmarks realistically, Chung focuses on the emotional atmosphere of each place: genuine human encounters, subtle exchanges, and the distinct rhythms of different neighbourhoods. Through sand and light, she reimagines these locations as layered impressions that exist between memory and lived reality, inviting viewers to pause and re-engage with overlooked moments of urban life.

Opening reception: 25 February, 5-7pm

Gallery address: G/F, 54 Sai Street, Sheung Wan
