Curating dialogues across places and cultures — a journey still unfolding. Spoke to Collection/Auction magazine收藏拍卖杂志about the years that shaped me —the moves, the shifts, from writing stories to building spaces for them, the invisible work behind finding my place. #CulturalHost #womaninculture #culturaldiplomacy #artandculture #culturalpower

Living a nomadic life for over half a year, I’ve often reflected on the meaning of home. 😅 As someone who is very attuned to the energy of my surroundings, I know that it’s in a space that truly expresses my aesthetic taste, with each piece of art and furniture capable of telling a story, where I can truly feel “at home.” Taste is fluid. One day, I realized that some of my furniture no longer aligned with my current aesthetic. During a casual chat with two dear friends @michellesyy and @amber.pan founders of Studio UMA @_studiouma_ , we happily decided to collaborate on redesigning my apartment. Studio UMA understood my deep affection for the elegance of a bygone era. From the clothes and jewelry I wear, they pieced together clues, realizing that I wanted to balance “知性sophistication” with “风情charm” 😂😂 all while harboring a particular nostalgia for Art Deco and the ‘70s. This collaboration has been a revelation for me: design furniture doesn’t just serve to complete a space; it also has the power to weave the stories of an art collection together! While most people choose art to complement their interiors, Studio UMA took a different approach. We began by building narratives from the art pieces, then selected furniture to connect the dots of the story.

This summer, I travelled to Paris to speak with Dominique de Villepin, the former Prime Minister of France once described as a ‘Poet in the corridor of power'. Villepin shares his insightful words of wisdom from his successful career on how to channel your passions for good and how this energy should not be limited to one person alone. “Don’t restrict your horizon to yourself and your own self-interest. It’s not a shortcut to a good life. Sharing and letting go of your mind and doing something for something you believe in and for a good cause is." - Villepin.

Venice is always romantic ☔️ #venice

Venice 2026 #venice 📷 @lisa_chan._

The beauty of Venice has a way of making artistic creations across eras, borders and mediums feel ever more extraordinary. THE ONLY TRUE PROTEST IS BEAUTY, presented by the Fondazione Dries Van Noten @fondazionedriesvannoten and curated by Dries Van Noten @driesvannoten ✨ The title comes from a line by Phil Ochs: “In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty.” At a time when parts of the world are still marked by conflict and instability, the idea of beauty takes on a different resonance. Set inside the magnificent Palazzo Pisani Moretta — a 15th-century Venetian palace later transformed with Baroque elements — the exhibition brings together fashion, jewellery, collectible design, ceramics, art and experimental installations in ways that constantly challenge our understanding of beauty. Here, beauty is not about prettiness, but about moments that disrupt perception and make us pause. Since retiring from fashion, Dries Van Noten has not stopped creating; he has simply found a new language. Where fashion was once his medium, he now continues through curation and empowering craftmanship. Because being a creator is never simply a profession. Creation itself is a lifelong way of expressing who you are. #driesvannoten #venicebiennale #craftmanship #artexhibitions #labiennaledivenezia

Three things you need to know about the Venice Biennale before you go… Beyond art, it’s also about national soft power and cultural influence. Let’s take a closer look. #venicebiennale #labiennale #cultural #culturalheritage #softpower

A weekend of being a tourist in the city I’ve lived for over a decade (and which all the psychics predicted that I’d eventually move back 🤪) 🇬🇧 #london#burningmirrorfoundation

Exploring how corporations engage with art patronage in Hong Kong. At Art Basel Hong Kong, I came across an interesting art installation — one side writes HEART, the other writes MIND. It was an art piece by the Bangkok -based artist Wit Pimkanchanapong @witpimkan commissioned by Chubb Life Hong Kong @chubblifehk . Beyond simply funding exhibitions, corporate art sponsorship has the potential to do something more meaningful. Had an insightful exchange with Belinda Au, President of Chubb Life Hong Kong and Head of North Asia, on how Chubb approaches its cultural initiatives, and how these programmes can engage the public and spark deep thinking and conversation. #arttour #ArtBaselHongKong #CulturalCapital #ArtPatronage #artcollection
