HART Award

Tjia Man Yan, a recipient of the HART Award, graduated from The Chinese University of Hong Kong with a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts, Curating and Artistic Strategies in 2023. Delving into the idea of coexistence between humans and laws of nature, Tjia’s graduation work imagines how intentional binary oppositions will eventually reach uniformity. Conceptual and experimental painting as well as mixed-media creation are the focuses of her creative practice. Through constructing and deconstructing daily life and materials, she wishes to explore the nature of existence and the vulnerability of humanity.
