Cheng is inspired by the artificial nature and sense of alienation experienced in Hong Kong. In her artworks, she aims to evoke poetic emotions within the city and explore the connection between our senses and the surrounding urban environment in our daily lives. She examines the relationship between humans, nature, and the urban landscape.
During her two-year period of studying for an MFA in Fine Arts, she took a step back and focused on exploring how sensory experiences in our urban surroundings contribute to our understanding of the environment, thus creating a sense of alienation within the city. She looks into the relationship between painting and perceiving, which has led her to explore video installation to ambient the perceiving under the influence of art practice.
