Tomona Matsukawa: Mirror at Flowers Gallery
The visual result of number of conversations on mother-daughter relationships expressed in series of hyper-realistic paintings.
Reuniting with the family after long time of just calls and messages makes noticeable changes—or the absence of them—easy to see (but not so easy to deal with).
Phrases taken from these conversations serve as titles for the paintings so don’t miss them! I especially loved “My mom said that I shouldn't do that because I am a girl”; I bet most girls of my generation have a lot to rant about hearing this phrase.
Exhibition period: 8.06—15.07
Gallery address: 49 Tung Street, Sheung Wan
