A space of stillness awaits. You are warmly invited to the Ink Meditation Room, an immersive installation by Belgian Contemporary Chinese Calligraphy artist Hilde Mertens.​
​
This unique exhibition is more than a viewing; it is an invitation to slow down, reflect and engage with art. Hilde’s work embodies a bold and contemporary interpretation of traditional Chinese calligraphy, centered around eight foundational characters – including æ°£ (Qi) and essence – to explore themes of change, the boundaries of culture, and the meditative act of creation.
Venue: 18F, 228 Electric Road, Fortress Hill, HK
