Made from financial newspaper and bamboo, Cheung’s window installation 'Home' refers to homes in China with traditional window lattice designs that were demolished for rapid urbanisation. The sculpture hovers between states of being, suggesting a ghost architecture that would have supported the windows. The windows act as a demarcation between the march of unstoppable progress, and the framework of identity, history and culture that define the individual. In the shadow of China’s monumental One Belt One Road endeavour, the work also speculates as to the varied aesthetic origins of the lattice designs, pointing towards the cultural transmission that occurred in the era of the great Silk Road.
