Due to recent events in Hong Kong and around the globe, it made me experience how hopeless and powerless one can feel within a short period of time. And so, I want to translate these feelings into my characters’ emotions and experiences. Fire Room goes back to our roots, to the rawness and simplicity of love and hate, of frustration and desire. The symbol of fire can reflect love, resistance, revenge and rebirth. This story may be personal to me, but it also includes those who have emotions, who are brave enough to express themselves in this chaotic world.
