Discover the story behind designer JJ Acuna’s favourite Hong Kong object: Hope Well, a vivid print by Julie Progin that reimagines the Hopewell Centre through colour, symbolism and auspicious energy. What begins as a playful image of one of Wan Chai’s most recognisable buildings becomes a deeply personal reflection on home, creativity and the objects that help us understand where we belong. Through Acuna’s eyes, the print reveals Hong Kong’s generosity, resilience and layered beauty. Read the full story to discover why one artwork means so much.
