Composed using the popular American life simulation videogame ‘The Sims’, the individual panels of the Home Sweet Home: Sunflower Pool Skateboard triptych were painted by a different painter found on the Chinese e-commerce platform, Taobao.
The resulting differences between each panel disrupt the serene and dream-like atmosphere of this rooftop paradise, a startling reminder of the discrepancies between fantasy and reality.

MAK2 aka Mak Ying Tung 2 (b. 1989, Hong Kong) is a conceptual artist. Her work contemplates 21st-century issues through the study of philosophy, art history, culture, shifting socio-political environments, the Internet, and new technology. The aesthetic experience she crafts is bound by the dualism of humor and intense inquisitiveness. She creates, installations, paintings, drawings, video work, youtube videos, stand-up comedy routines, and Instagram filters.

In 2023, Mak2 and THE SKATEROOM collaborate for the first time, releasing one limited edition triptych (100 of each) based on her Home Sweet Home series of triptychs on canvas that make use of the popular American life simulation video game “The Sims” and are each painted by three separate painters on the Chinese e-commerce platform Taobao. The result, three decks forming a triptych in three distinct styles. In addition to this, the collection includes two unique artworks, Home Sweet Home: Rose Pool Skateboard, and Home Sweet Home: Sunflower Pool Skateboard, painted, like the Home Sweet Home series, by three Taobao painters with as little information as possible, resulting in a triptych in three different styles.
