Hong Kong Tea Shop · 港味

2025–2026

A nostalgic series centered on traditional Hong Kong cha chaan teng, where the comforting aroma of milk tea and the golden crust of pineapple buns fill the air with the city's unique warmth. These paintings serve as a visual archive, documenting a culture that is slowly fading amid rapid urban development. Through careful observation and vivid color, Helen preserves the soul of these beloved gathering places. In these bustling corners, strangers become friends over shared tables and steaming cups of yuan yang, a testament to the enduring spirit of community.
