Mr. Kinson Liu (2004/Economics) & Miss Cheng Sijia (Financial Technology/Year 4)
Recently, I had the delightful opportunity to go with my mentee to the "Noir&Blanc" photography exhibition at M+, an experience that not only augmented our appreciation for the art form but also offered us a deeper understanding of Hong Kong's local culturethrough its captivating black and white imagery. The exhibition showcased a plethora of photographs that eloquently captured theessence of the city, its vibrant streets, and the nuanced lives of its residents. Each photograph was a story in itself, brimming withartistic flair, and it prompted us to engage in profound reflections and discussions.
As we meandered through the gallery, we found ourselves absorbed in conversations about the subtleties of each piece, discussingthe photographers' perspectives and the emotions evoked by their work. The shades of gray on display became metaphors for thecomplexities of life that we all navigate. It was inspiring to see my mentee's eyes light up with curiosity and her mind buzz withquestions about the intersection of art and daily existence.
Following our cultural immersion, our dialogue naturally transitioned to more personal topics such as career aspirations, the dauntingtask of job hunting, and the various milestones of graduating. I shared my insights and advice, hoping to offer some guidance andsupport as my mentee stands on the precipice of these significant life changes. It was a day of mutual learning and mentorship, andI relished the chance to contribute to my mentee's journey while also broadening my own horizons through the powerful lens ofphotography.
