Growing up in Hong Kong for years, Bonnie has been observing the city closely and witnessed how the city changed in both postive and negative ways.

 

Map is one of Bonnie’s most interested themes in illustration. This is not an ordinary map, it is not imformative. This is a personal map that reflects how the illustrator sees her home. She uses a limited color palette, simple line works and innocent, symbollic graphics that are child-like and cute to comment on the city in different aspects. The work aims at inviting the audience to join the her ‘Hong Kong journey’ and rethink on issues and values we find in Hong Kong.

 

黃寶兒是一位在香港生活二十多年的插畫家。成長期間，她看見香港不同改變，當中集合有正面、令人振奮的，也有負面和令人心痛的。

 

她創作了一幅香港地圖。這有別於一般的地圖，它是一幅為自己創作，紀錄自己想法的地圖。它並不色彩豐富，不為準確，也不為傳遞資訊。當中用上最簡潔的線條、顏色、看起來天真簡單的圖像，訴說著她眼中的香港。作品以看起來最正面繪畫方式，描述著她對香港複雜 的感受，並期望帶領讀者一同細味和反思我們在這城市所見到的不同事、物和價值。
