Amid the morning bustle of the market, light glances off baskets of produce, chatter hums softly between stalls, and the scent of fresh herbs and steamed buns lingers in the air. In Market Things (街市的物), Hong Kong–based artist Yu Feng 馮羽 captures the intimacy and poetry of ordinary life.
Drawn from her watercolor memories and inspired by Hong Aizhu’s An Old-Fashioned Girl’s Shopping Route, this piece is a quiet ode to the tenderness found in daily rituals — where familiarity becomes comfort and every exchange holds a trace of belonging. Through her gentle color palette and sensitive brushwork, Yu Feng invites viewers to slow down, to rediscover the grace within the mundane, and to see the market not just as a place of commerce, but as a living portrait of community and care.
