As a married couple, Vega and Furong’ s collaborative works embrace pure beauty and the non-utilitarian – and are thus, emotionally powerful.

It debuted as a souvenir brand, then became a community-rooted streetwear label before evolving into a narrative-driven universe – structured like a TV series where each year is a ‘Season’ and each collection an ‘Episode’.

Liu Yin is an artist who lives and works in Hong Kong. In more than a decade’s time, she has developed a subversive artistic language that uses exaggerated, watery, and sparkling eyes to create classic shōjo manga faces on widely circulated contemporary images; public figures from academic, scientific, and political worlds; pop culture characters, and inanimate beings. Simultaneously concealing their expressions and revealing deeply hidden characters – a true self that is feminine or innocent – Liu reconstructs the emotions, feelings, and narrative structures embedded in complex events. Liu's recent exhibitions include Summer, Kiang Malingue, Hong Kong (2023) and Symbiotic Longing, TAO ART, Taipei (2024).
