This semi-surreal watercolor piece beautifully intertwines the vibrant essence of Hong Kong with the delicate form of a butterfly. At its center, a lady clad in a striking red Cantonese opera outfit captures attention, embodying the city's rich cultural heritage. Her headdress, a whimsical creation of goldfish swimming inside bubbles, adds an enchanting touch, while her unique earrings—crafted from trams, fishballs, and golden cats—celebrate the city's iconic symbols. The butterfly's wings emerge from a captivating collage of architectural elements and an MTR map, representing the intricate urban landscape and fabric of Hong Kong. The interplay of colors and themes invites viewers to explore the fusion of tradition and modernity. This artwork not only showcases the beauty of the butterfly but also serves as a tribute to the vibrant life and culture of Hong Kong.
