Uni Kang (Hong Kong)
“Creativity takes courage.” is the one quote by Henri Matisse I always keep in mind. As the world becomes more advanced in science and technology, we are often given information that we forget the importance of exploration, the importance of individuality, and the importance of creativity. Personally and currently, my favourite art form is oil painting and photography. I hope that my ideas on social conventions can be reflected through them, and that it will also inspire or simply encourage others to explore the depths of art. Im 15, studying in Hong Kong at an ESF school and you can contact Uni through my instagram @uniartsn
