Inspired by the manmade nature and sense of alienation the artist experienced in Hong Kong, Cheng's multidisciplinary practice recurringly reveals the complex of light, shapes, and spaces. 

Cheng Hung (Dony Cheng) lives and works in Hong Kong. She is a recipient of the 19th Hong Kong Arts Development Award for Young Artist (Visual Arts) (2025) and a studio grant at HART Haus.
