The surface of her canvas becomes a soft landing point for unfiltered vulnerability. Formless, shapeless, and unapologetically fragmental, the blurred boundary evidenced the untranslatable and silent, embodying fluidity and incompleteness. Like a non-linear way of whispering, the initiative expression in Mak’s practice mirrors queerness, longing and intimacy, made possible for space to feel\u003c\/span\u003e, to heal, to play, to renew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eMak was featured by Financial Times, Vogue magazine, China Daily and other international media.
