A bamboo-and-paper sculpture dangles from the ceiling of a gallery. It looks oddly familiar but also like nothing you have ever seen. The claws, tail and body resemble a lobster, but the horned dragon’s head, well, that is where things get a little fuzzy.
This is not a deep-sea creature but the product of a deep dive into the imagination of Hong Kong artist Louis To Wun.
Titled Seafood, the whimsical piece is part of “All-Sea: Eight Oceanic Artistic Practices from Southeast Asia and Hong Kong”, an exhibition running until January 17 at Karin Weber Gallery in Central, Hong Kong, that pays homage to the interconnection between the sea and us.
