Two years later, we are at the second chapter of Chow Chun Fai’s Tarot series. Chow continues to incorporate Hong Kong scenery, classic Hong Kong film scenes, and elements of popular culture into the world of Tarot.

The Tarot series demonstrates how to deliberately misplace time, space, symbolism, and material in an orderly manner.

The non-linear arrangement allows viewers to further enter the artist's perception, and the contextually related meanings lead to emotional exchanges.
