Wan Wing Lam's creative works are heavily influenced by her Hong Kong and China identity. This is exemplified in her art through a deep exploration of her self identity, focusing particularly on the pressing issue of the housing problem prevalent in the city. Wan's innovative use of foldable furniture in her works speaks to the reality of living in a cramped space, where practicality and functionality take precedence over aesthetic considerations.Wan's masterful interweaving of regional customs and contemporary themes creates thought-provoking and visually stunning pieces that are a testament to her artistic talent and skill.
Viewer could see the shadow on the table is a criss-cross pattern to symbolise Hong Kong complex city landscape.

This is the front craving under the red lights.
The red lamp shade is a reference to the iconic Hong Kong lamp shade that can see all around the street or market. And the red color creates a very violent dynamic for the art piece.
The rusted legs of the table are proof that it has gone through a lot of history and time, and it also symbolizes that a region has suffered a lot of indelible damage.
