ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
藝術家簡介
Kiang Chun Him Kiana (b.2002 in Hong Kong) is a mixed-media artist. He graduated with an Associate Degree in Social Sciences (Sociology) and is currently a final year student in the Academy of Visual Arts, he is also a member of the hip-hop crew UnderPlayGround and the band Quatern.
His main focus is on exploring themes of love and society, with the belief that art creation can inspire reflection and contribute to building a better world. He is heavily influenced by rock, hip-hop, and local culture, comics, working in various media such as painting and drawing, calligraphy, digital art, design, lyrics, music performance and creation (arranging and composing), and glass art. In his works, temporality, text, emotion, and music are often indispensable elements. He seeks to capture both beautiful and fragmented experiences, using love to critique the world’s decay and to reconstruct the self after confronting chaos.
姜俊謙 (2002年生於香港)，是一名混合媒介藝術家，畢業於社會科學副學士（社會學），現為視覺藝術系四年級學生，亦為嘻哈團體UnderPlayGround及樂隊Quatern成員。
主力探討愛及社會題材，深信創作可以為社會帶來反思繼而建立更美好的世界。深受搖滾、嘻哈、本地文化及漫畫影響，涉獵的媒介包括繪畫和素描、書法、數碼藝術、設計、繪畫、歌詞、音樂表演及創作（編曲及作曲）及玻璃藝術等等。在作品中，時間性、文字、情感及音樂往往是不可或缺的元素，試圖捉緊美好及破碎經歷，以愛及創作控訴世間崩壞及對抗混亂後的自我重建。

By 3055, most of the upper class and the government had moved to the colonial satellites. Some people stayed and lived in various parts of the Earth. Due to resource shortages and extreme weather conditions, Africa has become a desert due to drought; Australia, Europe, and South America have been flooded. The Asian city of New Hong Kong has become a harbor for criminals from all over the world. The population is becoming increasingly dense, resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and the atmosphere is becoming increasingly depressing.
Each collected coffin is attached with the sound that narrates the journey of each solitary soul.
3055 年，大多數上層階級和政府已經移居至殖民衛星國。有些人留在地球的各個地方生活。由於資源短缺及極端天氣影響，非洲乾旱成為沙漠；澳洲、歐洲和南美洲均遭到洪水淹沒。亞洲城市新香港已成為世界各地罪犯的避風港。人口越來越密集，資源越來越稀缺，氣氛越來越壓抑。
每一個被收集起來的棺材都附有聲音，講述著每一個孤獨靈魂的旅程。
