Sunday Girls Portraits / 星期天的女孩 (攝影)

​

The closest voice that we have never heard… 

​

The *Sunday Girls* series is a long-term photography project that explores the untold stories of domestic helpers in Hong Kong, a city where over 350,000* individuals work as domestic helpers. Hong Kong is one of the few places in the world where domestic helpers play a significant role in sharing the burden of household responsibilities, yet their voices often remain unheard.

​

In this project, the artist invited domestic helpers to share their personal journeys: why they left their families to work overseas, their dreams and aspirations, and how they spend their precious day off on Sundays. Despite the challenges they face, many of these women pursue extraordinary activities, showcasing resilience, creativity, and ambition. The project also includes a series of documentary videos that further amplify their stories. 

​

Through 'Sunday Girls', the artist aim to response stereotypes and celebrate the strength, creativity, and humanity of domestic helpers in Hong Kong.

這些咫尺之間的聲音，我們或未曾細心傾聽… …

​

《星期天的女孩》系列是一個長期的攝影項目，探索在香港工作的家務助理未被講述的故事。在香港，有超過35萬人*從事家務助理的工作，是世界上少數幾個地方之一，家務助理在分擔家庭責任方面扮演著重要角色，但她們的聲音卻常常被忽視。

​

在這個項目中，藝術家邀請女孩分享她們的個人經歷：為什麼她們選擇離開自己的家庭到海外工作，她們的夢想和抱負，以及她們如何度過珍貴的星期天休息日。儘管面臨種種挑戰，許多女孩仍追求非凡的活動，展現出堅韌、創造力和雄心。這項目還包括一系列紀錄片，進一步描述她們的故事。

​

透過《星期天的女孩》，藝術家希望回應刻板印象，並讚頌香港家務助理的力量、創造力和人性。
