「在世界各地工作和生活的經歷，讓我感受到無論由小孩到成人，無分國界和背景，很多人都在煩囂和高壓的生活環境缺乏了真正聆聽他們所思所想的人。

「給陌生人的圖畫」希望可以給任何人，無論是富裕或是貧窮，一個機會去把最真實的感受或是煩惱和我這個陌生人分享。在短短的時間內，我已經收到超過300封來信，有時候我會回信到晚上九時多；我收過五歲小朋友的信，道出他一直得不到父母的愛，只能悲傷地看着被寵愛的弟弟獲得所有關注；亦有中學生寫信問道怎樣才可以令考公開試的壓力減下；也有爸爸和我分享他差點和女兒失散了的經歷。

我希望讓更多人通過藝術打開他們心裏的一扇窗。只要你想說，我便會耐心聆聽。」 

- 本地藝術家 Winnie Wong

"A few weeks ago, I started an initiative here in Hong Kong called “Drawing to Strangers” - inviting strangers to write to me, another stranger, in pictorial letters. I just wanted to provide another channel for people, from adults to children, to be able to express themselves emotionally through art. I have received more than 300 letters, in a short period of time.

These “letters” received, were completely beyond my expectations. I received letter from 5-year-old girl telling me how upset she was because her parents gave all their love to her brother; I received letter from a teenager who was under massive pressure from her public exam, and the tears filled up the sea in her drawing... there was also really cute letters which urged me to return to collect the “mail”, when I was away for a few days.

I see lots of connection, empowerment and love in the way how we exchanged our letters. I see that many people are in need of a space for authentic emotional expression. On some days my mailbox would be flooded with letters, and I’d postpone my dinner appointment to make sure I reply to all of them." - Winnie
