At Own Risk

A mixed-media art surfboard blending Australian vintage iconography, bold warning signs, and street-art textures with contemporary illustration. Layered in vibrant blues and reds, it captures the tension between nostalgia and modern urban life—an eye-catching statement piece that merges cultural memory with contemporary coastal style.

This piece is a remix of memories from home, filtered through the chaos and neon energy of Hong Kong. It pulls together vintage Aussie nostalgia—cheeky cigarette ads, classic warning signs, and retro illustrations—with a swirl of street-art textures and abstract patterns that echo the city I live in now.

The board becomes a kind of cultural mood board: a little bit gritty, a little bit ironic, and fully shaped by the weird duality of being Australian abroad. It's about missing the sunburnt sarcasm, the rough humour, the coastline—and trying to hold onto those moments while navigating life in a place that never slows down.

It's a visual postcard from the in-between, where homesickness meets reinvention, wrapped in a millennial blend of irony, nostalgia, and restless wanderlust.
