Artist Reo ma
Ep.65 | Artist Reo Ma is a Hong Kong-based artist and I meet him in his studio in Wong Chuk Hang. Our discussion covered various areas of his work, including his journey in learning to create garments, the value of creation, his experiences dealing with depression, and his latest project titled Form n Void.
Atelier Reo Ma represents a life philosophy aimed at inspiring people from different background and walks of life. Different mediums are used to present ideologies associated with the philosophy.
Living in a world filled with norms often makes oneself follow a path which is considered “good life”, with the illusion that they have consciously chosen the right path for themselves. We are not discouraging the following of norms, but rather we would want oneself to make decisions in life based on their own inner will rather than external expectations.
During the span of a busy urban life, we often lack the space, time and an open-mind to reflect about what we truly want and desire; leading to pursuits of readily-available materialistic satisfaction set out by societal norms and forgetting about the deeper spiritual fulfilment. Atelier Reo Ma aims to provide mediums and platforms to inspire urban souls in reflecting what they truly desire during the span of a limited lifetime.
