Artist and poet Claire Lee recently moved to England with her husband, but she used to call Hong Kong home. Born and raised in the city, she lived in the neighbourhood of Yau Ma Tei, known for its density and rough edges—but it’s quite peaceful, she says. By day, she would manage an art gallery, and after work she would write poetry and paint. A frequent haunt was the nearby Kubrick cafe, a mecca for local creatives where she would put her poetry collections on sale and listen to people discuss film.
