Hong Kong Tea Shop · 港味

A nostalgic series centered on traditional Hong Kong cha chaan teng (tea restaurants). Neon signs, checkered floor tiles, milk tea and pineapple buns — capturing the city's unique warmth and human flavor. These paintings document a culture that is slowly disappearing amid rapid urban development. Through careful observation and vivid color, Helen preserves the atmosphere of these beloved gathering places where strangers become friends over shared tables and steaming cups of yuan yang.
