I am drawn back time and again to the quiet revelations of Hong Kong’s past, captivated by how time, history, and fate intertwine.

Thomas Lin (練錦順) is a Hong Kong-based photographic artist and educator. His art explores the dynamic relationship between photography and historical narrative. His works have been exhibited and reviewed in various cities⎯including Hong Kong, Kyoto, London, Pomona, Vancouver, Taipei, and Beijing⎯and are held in both private and public collections.
