Imagined sister inspires Tang's latest exhibition

Amelia Johnson Contemporary

She likes music and has been living away from home, travelling for many years. Now, at 25, she has decided to open a flower shop. Her name is Nancy and she is Tang Kwok-hin's younger sister.

She is also a figment of the artist's imagination.

An only child, Tang, 28, almost had a younger sibling. His mother was pregnant 25 years ago but as the family, from a walled village in Kam Tin, couldn't afford to raise two children, she had an abortion. Today, the family often wonder what life would have been like had the child been born.

"I didn't want a sister when I was a child. I thought we would fight for toys. But now I really want one. I think my life would be different if I were given a sister."
