Ever wondered how the things we lose—both big and small—shape who we are?
Taipei-based illustrator Zito Hsu dives into this emotional journey in her solo exhibition, titled “Sometimes I Lost, Sometimes I Found," running at River City Bangkok, until Feb. 23, 2025.
The idea for this exhibition began during Zito’s residency in Taiwan, where she started “Lost & Found LAB.” She invited people to share their stories of items—not just everyday things like pens and umbrellas, but also deeply personal intangibles like lost friendships, freedom, or the carefree joy of childhood.
These heartfelt submissions inspired Zito to create a collection of works that explore these themes, using a palette of light blue hues for her playful characters, who express a wide range of emotions. One of her key symbols, a cat’s milk tooth, represents transformation—a nod to her beloved pet cat, Choco, and the changes we go through in life.
The exhibition is split into zones, each offering a unique take on loss. In the "Cloud Memory Gate," you’ll find 12 thought-provoking sentences capturing shared feelings of loss. At the "Blue House – Lost & Found LAB," there’s a memory “tree hollow” where you can leave your own story of something you’ve lost.
Then there’s the "Walker" zone, which steps into the 3D world with wooden sculptures exploring modern social culture.
Finally, the "Audience Response Sharing" zone allows you to reflect on others’ experiences—and maybe even find some solace in their stories.
"Sometimes I Lost, Sometimes I Found"is a powerful reminder that every loss, no matter how small, carries an emotional connection and can sometimes lead to surprising rediscovery, offering a chance to reflect, connect, and heal.
