Observing the Crowd Observing #3, 2016, Pencil on vellum, 210 x 297mm
Following the lingering uncertainty of the 2014 Hong Kong protest, Leung developed a series of pencil drawings on vellum tracing over crowds on the street gathering in public. The only thing missing is the action, the subject, or so-called the happening of the story. Leung is fascinated by the power of indirect invitation one might gravitate towards a crowd gathering for something happening, yet not immediately available to the eyes. As the political situation continues to be volatile, the occasion of any crowd gathered has become a direct trigger for curiosity, uncertainty or even tension in society.
