Statement

HaiChao Hong harbours a fascination for paraffin as a material. Ever since his three-year stay in the hospital, a heightened sense of curiosity about memory infuses everything he does. In recent years, he has dedicated himself to creating with paraffin, crafting works that weave a complex narrative of life and death, memory, emotional relationships, and dreams. In his perspective, sculpture should not be kept at arm's length - it should be evolving, warm, something to be embraced amidst the flux of life.
