He is a member of the group Rental United that makes socially aware works through a variety of participatory practices.

另一位本地藝術家唐偉傑的作品,也在玩弄文字遊戲。遙遠地看到畫框內有隻粉藍色背色、粉紅色的豬,走近看原來不是畫出來的,豬是由一張張細小的「MADE in Hong Kong」貼紙組成,是一隻百分百「港豬」。同場還有許多同類作品,例如用「MADE in Hong Kong」貼紙拼成潮語「做咩姐你」、一堆七彩繽紛的米田共與菊花,還有「MADE in CHINA」標誌。
