Neon Superstitions is a series of paintings that explore the persistence of belief, ritual, and symbolism in contemporary urban life. Drawing from scenes in Vancouver’s Chinatown, the works feature neon signage, beckoning cats, Guan Gong statues, and shopfront displays — symbols that blur the lines between commerce, faith, and folklore. These icons, often found in everyday spaces, become visual cues for protection, fortune, and justice, especially within diasporic communities.
Neon Superstitions will be on view at THIS Gallery in Vancouver BC from July 4–12, with an opening on July 5, 12–4pm.
