The exhibition showcases the seamless blend of Mrs. Carol Tsang’s appreciation and exploration of Chinese and Western art for over three decades. The innovative and ingenious artistic expression of her works fully demonstrates her dedication to in-depth studies and practices of photography, painting, and the Sogetsu School of Ikebana. With the dexterous manipulation of diverse media, she expresses her passion for and her understanding of life.
Carol’s application of original and inventive visual styles is not merely for an appealing outlook but for expressing her creative ideas and emotions. The impactful visual effects of “Forest Ride” embrace audience in the forest with amazement and astonishment, triggering emotional resonance and bringing about a distinctive visual experience. In addition, Carol integrates her artistic endeavours and adopts various media to enrich the layer, expression, storytelling, emotion, and vitality of her works. Among them, “Sodden Melaleuca” is a new attempt that combines a slow shutter speed photograph with painting, ikebana, and a collage of natural materials.

Abstract and dreaminess are emphasised in the reflection works, showing the uniqueness of abstract art, while also inspiring viewers’ imagination and exploration of art and aesthetics. “Water Rhythms” captures the fascinating and picturesque water reflection. The stark contrast between the warm and cold tones creates an enchanting palette of tantalising and flowing colours in the photo. Carol uses 360-degree shooting composition to show her perception of each place. The panoramic perspective of “Mesmerising Green” embodies the grandeur of the entire magnificent forest, lingering clouds, and vast sky, delighting viewers with lightheartedness and enlightenment.

In the exhibition, the works are interspersed with ikebana installations, narrating unique tales with their rich emotion, dynamic, and vitality. The artist hopes her viewers to take a break from the hustle and bustle and rediscover the beauty surrounding them.
