Lives and works in Hong Kong.
Using found paper maps as both primary medium and intellectual framework, Giraffe transforms these cartographic records into sites of cultural inquiry. Beyond their geographic utility, these maps serve as metaphors for reimagining the perceived world. By meticulously deconstructing and reconfiguring fragments, he suggests new narratives that remain faithful to their own inherent structures. Once-familiar topographies—place names, coastlines, highways, and mountain silhouettes—are rendered anew, encouraging a total relearning of a known space. Through diverse material manipulations coupled with conceptual exploration, the artist reflects on how an individual’s relationship with the place is, simultaneously, a collective experience.
Giraffe earned his MA in Fine Arts from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2021. He has presented solo exhibitions Parallel Space (2025, 2020), PMQ (2022), and La Galerie Paris 1839 (2021). His work has been featured in group shows including Why do trees grow till the end of time? (Gallery Exit, 2026) and Art Taipei (2024). His work is held in the Vancouver Art Gallery and various private collections.
