Mr. Kurt Tong, artist of “LightWell”, won the WMA Masters 2016/17 themed on “Mobility” with his photographic series namely “Threads of Sisterhood”.

The “Threads of Sisterhood” series is around Mak Ngan Yuk, the nanny who worked for Mr. Tong’s family for nearly 40 years. It combines new photographs, found photographs and several other mixed media pieces. It explores the story of comb up women, giving a voice to generations of unsung heroines who might otherwise be ignored or forgotten.
