PERSPECTIVE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdyRXEZ7Wfo In her contemplative narrative, artist Pang Jing revisits the parable of the Blind Men and the Elephant, drawing a poignant analogy to the human experience. In a serene setting beneath a venerable tree, Pang shares, “We are akin to those blind men, yet simultaneously, we embody the elephant. Our multifaceted selves are pieced together through the varied perceptions and interactions of others.” Pang Jing, an artist of prestigious art schooling, has dabbled in an eclectic mix of media. After graduation, she ventured into life modelling, with a creative focus intensely orbiting the concept of “the body”. Pang epitomises the solitary artist, her oeuvre spanning painting, glasswork, fashion design, and photography, thriving in a realm dev...

Life in Hong Kong is fast-paced, and there will always be some office workers who have never exercised habits, but decide to start exercising when they are in their thirties because of obvious weight gain or health problems.

圖片來源 ： IG@BoliJewelleryStudio The hand-made market has lasted for many years, every time I go to the hand-made market, I am most afraid of seeing the same, very similar works, I believe that it is because of many times that some of the hand-made thresholds are low, relatively easy to learn, easy to use, and over time I once lost my interest in visiting the hand-made market. At the beginning of this year, there was a market where there was an opportunity to "pick up the shop", although there were not many stalls, but people were pleasantly surprised to encounter an eye-catching handmade product, that is, hand-typed silver jewelry, the pattern on the silver jewelry is extremely detailed, although it is cold to the touch, it looks full of temperature. This small shop is Eva's one-man ...

Once upon a time, in a quaint city known as the Culinary Paradise, there lived a chef. While the townspeople relished international cuisines, local ingredients remained underappreciated, with few taking pride in their regional produce. This chef pondered, “How can I arrange my work freely and connect genuinely with food?” She firmly believed in a lifestyle perfectly suited to her. Meet Chef Ling (Ng Suet Ling), born into a family of Chinese culinary heritage. Her father, a master of wonton and beef brisket noodles, watched as his daughter gravitated towards Western cuisine. Self-taught in baking, Ling first worked in a patisserie before apprenticing in Western cuisine, handling everything from starters and salads to desserts. Describing herself as a 'hybrid' chef, she ventured to the U...

In reality, Ding is a seasoned life model., reflects on the humour and positivity she has brought to the term “exhibitionist” (露體狂), once used in jest by friends. “It's about redefining a concept from a negative connotation to a positive light,” she shares.

When you travel to Japan or Taiwan, have you ever felt envious of how the locals seem to be self-sufficient when it comes to food and daily necessities? If you take a closer look, you'll realize that Hong Kong also offers a variety of local brands and agricultural products. Despite not having the same resources as big corporate brands, they continue to work quietly to preserve Hong Kong's agriculture and local products. To sustain these local brands, there needs to be a supportive community. In the latest issue, BBOLD magazine interviewed a woman named Katie, born in the 90s.

「女生女人同樣長不大／平衡多身份姿態／但被太少理解」 “Throughout my career, whether composing music or writing lyrics, I have always used my unique sensibility to articulate the identity of women. I’ve noticed that many works tend to adopt a male perspective on women,” says Vicky. She never saw herself as a typical woman, feeling strongly that inside her resides a man. “If I were to choose one of my more recent works that resonates deeply with the theme of womanhood, it would be Janice's 《我的視角》”. The 2022 concept album “DAUGHTER” deconstructs the theme of “female autonomy” from a woman’s perspective and is produced entirely by an all-female team. In 《我的視角》, Vicky chooses to eschew using any “he” or “she”, attempting to eliminate traditional stereotypes. In this era, everyone can define their own type o...

In her music career, she's crafted both pop songs and community music. Not content with just songwriting and composing, she dove into being a singer-songwriter. Yet, producing alone didn't satisfy her; she yearned to be an artist. She remarks, “In truth, I don't engage in anything solely for money.” But isn’t lawyering about financial prospects? She quips, “Law isn’t the most lucrative path. If I were after money, I’d turn to stocks or real estate.” A valid point. Music wasn’t chosen for mon...
