Cheung’s Windows refer to homes in China with traditional window lattice designs that were demolished for rapid urbanisation. The sculpture hovers between states of being, suggesting a ghost architecture that would have supported the windows. The windows act as a demarcation between the march of unstoppable progress, and the framework of identity, history and culture that define the individual.

I layer lots of newspaper together, and then I mould them into forms and it almost turns the newspaper back into wood. It was a way of trying to embody our human experience in this virtual space that we have created on a global scale."
