Beth Wong (1998, Hong Kong) Her work is a collection of poetic fragments from her
immediate surroundings. She is particularly interested in the overlooked stories and materials
from the urban fringe. By fusing painting with various mediums, she translates what she
observed to give an alternative interpretation of reality. She graduated from Frank Mohr Institute
(MFA in Painting) in 2023 and earned her BA from the Chinese University of Hong Kong
(Fine Arts) in 2019.
