Inspired by the novel A Room Without Myself by Hong Kong writer Lee Chi-leung, the exhibition delves into a personal journey of navigating the ebbs and flows of depression. Using pill packaging as a starting point, Lam’s works combine text, colors, and sound to negotiate the artist’s subject/object relationship with medication. 

 

Reflecting on her own upbringing in Hong Kong, the exhibition weaves together the artist’s intimate narrative and the city’s socio-cultural landscape. By layering the personal and the public, her works prompt reflections on the performativity and autonomy of the individual within processes of socialization.

 

Inviting the audience on an introspective journey, "A Room Without Myself" goes beyond the individual, offering a city portrait that tells a story of chaos, freedom, and hope.
