Provenance is a repertoire of poems written by the same daughter, student, lawyer, wife and mother over a span of twenty years in Hong Kong. The 47 poems explore sociocultural and more personalised themes of transformation, deprivation, aspiration and love against the backdrop of a city of East-West dichotomy. Such exploration culminated in the author’s artwork presented in this book.


作者身兼女兒、學生、律師、妻子和母親，將自己在香港二十年間所撰寫的詩歌，結集成《Provenance》一書。在東、西文化碰撞的城市背景下，這47首詩探討了社會文化，以及更內在的主題──轉變、匱乏、渴望和愛。作者也以畫作表達出自己對這些主題的探索。
