Emerging Hong Kong artist Peep invites introspective souls alike to step inside a familiar yet often overlooked terrain of home in her debut solo exhibition, Tears and Cheers. This profoundly personal showcase is a visual diary that captures the essence of Peep's creative evolution from childhood reveries to adult reflections. Through a collection of evocative works in various mediums, Peep encourages viewers to embrace the full spectrum of human emotions and find beauty in the mundane moments that shape our existence. Standing true to the artist's belief that life, in all its complexity, unfolds at its own pace and holds its own answers.

At the heart of the exhibition hangs a hand-painted paper lamp, a centrepiece that serves as a bridge between past and present. This luminous creation reimagines a cherished childhood memory when Peep transformed her bedroom ceiling lamp into a personal art piece, carving out a space uniquely her own. Years later, a new lamp illuminates the main hall, casting a warm glow over the exhibition and inviting visitors to reconnect with their childhood creativity.

Another standout series, Tears Container, offers a powerful metaphor for emotional processing. The collection features a series of delicately painted ceramic cups, each one a vessel for different emotional states. Adorned with whimsical cats and animals, these containers encourage viewers to compartmentalise and honour their feelings, transforming internal struggles into tangible, even beautiful, objects of contemplation. 

This exhibition is deeply rooted in the concept of home as a sanctuary, a theme that resonates strongly in today's world. Peep's unique style blends elements of realism with a touch of whimsy, resulting in scenes that are at once familiar and dreamlike. Tears and Cheers serve as a gentle reminder that amidst the chaos of the outside world, our homes remain steadfast as arenas for personal discovery, emotional processing, and ultimately, self-acceptance.
