Museum Grade reprint on Hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm mould-made paper. Limited reprint.
Tucked in a narrow lane off of Shing Wong Street, an old barbershop stands frozen in time. For six decades, behind the weathered shutters and under the pitched tin roof, the barber has hovered over his 1960s-era barber's chair, brandishing razors and scissors that were built to last. Many of his regulars have been with him since childhood.

Alvin C.K. Lam is a Hong Kong–based self-taught watercolor artist who recalls picking up a paintbrush long before chopsticks. What began in 2020 as an experiment in urban sketching soon became a journey of rediscovering his hometown and uncovering the untold stories hidden within its streets. Known for his richly detailed and evocative style, Alvin captures Hong Kong’s vibrant yet fading cultural heritage through scenes of traditional family businesses, craftsmen, and everyday life. His ongoing series, Unspoken Stories, Unsung Heroes, celebrates these ordinary figures—the quiet backbone of modern Hong Kong—reflecting the enduring Lion Rock Spirit while evoking nostalgia amid the tension between tradition and progress.
