Fung first wrote “more mall” in water before bathing this section of paper in light grey ink. Afterwards, he wrote the character 魔 mo (demon) in an added layer of dark black. Reading the English and Chinese words individually, they share a similar sound. But reading them together, they provide a pointed critique of consumerism.Provenance
