our love is not destined is a fragmented story with eight chapters. This video juxtaposes new monologues with a compilation of Japanese Shōwa commercials, unfolding the politics of love and complex emotions in an intimate relationship.

《我們不是命中注定》由八個章節的零碎故事組成，將獨白與日本昭和年代廣告集並置，揭示情愛政治以及浪漫關係裡面的複雜情感。

Hou Lam Tsui (b. 1997) is an artist who works across moving image, sculpture, installation, and text. Her practice centres around personal experience, affect, gender politics, and peripheral storytelling. Tsui rethinks how femininity and queerness are imagined within cultures, critically exploring how media and consumer desires shape emotions, our notion of love, femininity, and identities by drawing inspiration from pop culture, advertisement, anime, literature and beyond.

Her work has been previously exhibited and screened at ACMI (Australia), Art Basel Films (Hong Kong), Beijing International Short Film Festival (China), Guangdong Times Museum (China), Para Site (Hong Kong), Tai Kwun Contemporary (Hong Kong), among others.

Tsui lives and works in Hong Kong. She received a BA in Fine Art and History of Art from the University of Leeds in 2018 and later obtained an MFA from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2024.
