Hong Liting was born in a small town in Zhejiang, China—a place of mountains, rivers, and quiet simplicity. She grew up surrounded by people who lived close to the land, in a community where life unfolded slowly and honestly.
She later moved to Hangzhou to study statistics, at a time when she hadn’t yet known the vast forms that art could take. It was only then, through small encounters and gradual exposure, that she began to sense the wider world—and the possibilities of creative expression.
Liting is drawn to travel and temporary living, often working while in transit. Observing how people move, pause, and belong in different environments forms a core part of her practice. She has been based in Tokyo for the past two years, a period that deepened her connection to this way of life and affirmed her path as an artist—regardless of the medium she may work in.

Project Statement
These images began with no clear destination — just the urge to hold on to what slips by.
These are fragments — not of big events, but of everyday life: caught in motion, touched by light, shaped by silence.
There’s no storyline here, just the quiet rhythm of days unfolding.
Moments shared, moments stolen, all suspended in the space between presence and memory.
