In the What Matters To Me series, a Generation T honouree describes what they do, why they do it, and why it matters.
As a child, Thierry Chow didn’t give feng shui much thought. Which is odd, considering that her father, Chow Hon-ming, is one of Hong Kong’s most revered feng shui masters. “I just tuned it out,” she says.
Chow discovered her desire to follow in her father’s footsteps later in life, after completing her schooling in art and design. Today, she’s using her design background and the experience she gained as an apprentice under her father to bring feng shui into the 21st century. This year she released a book, Love and Fate, that applies the ancient practice to the very modern world of love and dating. Here, Chow introduces her work in her own words.
Feng shui is very misunderstood. A lot of people think it’s a superstition, or a shortcut to getting what you want. When I was younger, even I thought that. It’s not about that at all—it’s looking at the meaning of objects and how they affect people’s physical and mental health.
