Museum Grade reprint on Hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm mould-made paper. Limited reprint.
Amidst a bustling Mong Kok street market, toiling behind rows upon rows of guava, star fruit and an array of banana varieties, is a petite Mrs. Wong - a woman who recalls the early days of hawking from a bamboo carrying pole, and who takes profound pride in her local produce and the livelihood that she and her husband have built since 1972.

Provenance:
Alvin c.k. Lam
Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Alvin recalls picking up a paintbrush long before chopsticks. In 2020, while experimenting with watercolor urban sketching, Alvin inadvertently embarked on a journey of 'rediscovering' his hometown as he uncovers untold stories along the way —often in the most ordinary, familiar, yet most overlooked places. Each painting brings to life tales of (extra)ordinary people whose lifetime of devotion and resilience weave into the rise of Hong Kong and the rich cultural heritage that makes Hong Kong so uniquely Hong Kong.
