William Lim painted Murray House today as it sits in Stanley with the pier in front. The reflection is the old Murray House in Central, with the vibrant Hong Kong skyline now. There are multiple readings about displacement, transformation, regeneration, and how our city has evolved. There is also the diversity of our city, with heritage, culture, and a bright outlook to our future. The work is created uniquely for Design Trust Charity Benefit 2025 at Murray House, Stanley Plaza responding to the historic site and curatorial theme of the exhibition.
