In traditional printmaking practice, prints often take the spotlight, overshadowing their plate (matrix) counterparts. “I See Your Strength”, at its core, positions etched copper plates as the protagonists, reshaping moments of human connection into lasting, tangible, and emotional imprints.
The plates, placed at the centre of the room, stand as raw, permanent witnesses to a fleeting bodily memory. Meanwhile, the resulting edition prints reveal the subtleties embedded in every crevice of the skin—whether it be the palms, eyes, shoulders, lips or torsos. By juxtaposing the plates with the prints, this series of work underscores the interplay between tangible physicality and the subdued emotional impressions that give us the strength to live on.
It is ideal that, when leaving the room of exhibits, you and I can reflect on the bonds that sustain us: the strength we draw from our loved ones, and the intimate traces etched into our minds.

↘ Artist Bio
Cheung Yeuk-fei, Enna graduated from the Fine Arts Department at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2023, majoring in Art History and Studio Art. Her work explores how skin, as a vessel of memory, reflects love in its various forms within her society. Each person’s skin bears the memory of their body, from their first day to their last. By imprinting skin textures using soft-ground etching, she makes the strength in different relationships visible to our eyes. After graduation, Enna undertook a printmaking artist residency at Masereel in Belgium, where she explored traces of skin through intaglio techniques. One of her early works from this series was archived by the Masereel in 2023.
