Maria Cheung was born and raised in Hong Kong. Before pursuing her passion for art, Maria worked in the field of marketing management. She graduated from RMIT University in 2022 with a bachelor’s degree in fine art, majoring in photography. She was awarded the Dean's List for academic excellence and the 1a Space Artist Residency Award. Maria's artistic practice is rooted in exploring and preserving the historical perspectives of everyday life. She captures the passage of time through her work. Her diverse photographic methods and mediums reveal her feelings, emotions, and memories associated with the people, places, and objects she encounters. Maria embraces the beauty of the imperfect, the impermanent, and even the incomplete, reflecting the erosion of time. Through her works, she aims to interact with the audiences, evoking their awareness and appreciation of the changing and gradually disappearing era in time and history.
