A contemporary art surfboard featuring bold stencil work, layered geometric patterns, and a striking black-and-white bird illustration. Accented with botanical cut-outs and graphic portraiture, it blends natural elements with urban visual language—creating a modern, sculptural piece that bridges street art, nostalgia, and coastal design.
This piece spins together fragments of life between Australia and Hong Kong—nature, street culture, and the feeling of belonging to two places at once. The bold bird, a familiar Aussie character, becomes a stand-in for home, perched against a backdrop of layered patterns inspired by Hong Kong's architecture and visual noise. Hand-cut botanicals and graphic portraiture sit between these worlds, creating a dialogue between nostalgia and reinvention.
