This contemporary artwork features a striking visual composition. The predominant colors are muted shades of gray, with the concrete structures and geometric shapes creating a minimalist, industrial aesthetic. The two elderly figures in formal attire stand within a large circular archway, their poses suggesting a sense of interaction or dialogue.

The overall impression is one of isolation and introspection, perhaps commenting on the human experience in an urban landscape. The artist's intention seems to explore themes of aging, societal structures, and the individual's relationship with their environment. ...
Bo Choy (b. 1986, Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong-born, London-based artist working across film, performance and sound. She received a BA from Chelsea College of Art, and MA from Slade School of Art. She uses fiction, music, writing and costumes as artistic devices. Often borrowing aesthetic tropes from Far Eastern folklore traditions and rituals, her use of costumes and fiction results in works that merge the everyday with the fantastical, the mythological and sometimes the absurd.
