Remember playing with your friends in your childhood days? Perhaps on a fine day, you would all throng to the park, scramble to line up for games, or play sports together. If it rained, you might move to a covered playground or pavilion to play board games, such as "Peace and Happiness Chess", taking turns to move the figurine chess pieces, hopping from box to box, all of you eager to move ahead on the paper chessboard. The exhibition, titled "Childhood Fun on Paper", features Sue Lai and the creative ensemble STICKYLINE, who revive the nostalgic boardgame "Peace and Happiness Chess" in their own creative ways. Visitors are invited to set aside their electronic games for a while to explore together the joy of childhood as they navigate the virtual world on paper.

Sue Lai excels in Chinese gongbi (fine brush) techniques to capture scenes of everyday life and portraits, and children are often her source of inspiration. In this exhibition, she applied her gongbi painting techniques to recreate a chessboard, on which children play various games. The artistic rendering has modern touches to illustrate the timelessness of innocence in young hearts, shown on their faces. Designers Mic Leong and Soilworm Lai of STICKYLINE pursue their long-standing passion for paper. Breaking the limitations of the two-dimensional frame, they created three-dimensional paper sculptures in human form to put on the huge three-dimensional chessboard. Whether they are child figures, playground facilities, or flowers at the edge, they are presented in a variety of proportions to help recall our collective childhood memories of playing in the park.
