Undeniably, the superhero cultural phenomena unleashes most of our fascination of being a superhero. As an artist, Chow Kar Hoo realizes the superhero genre is something more than defeating villains or keeping the world in peace. He sees every superhero embodies the spirits and humanity ,and every hero has to deal with the interior of humanity, such as hopes, dreams, fear, frustration and other facets of human nature.

In this series, Chow Kar hoo invited a pantheon of superheroes from the fantastical world to our reality word by unveiling the truth, such as political situation, social justice, environmental issues and the quest for happiness. With this surreal visualization, Chow wants to provoke our reflections of our current world with the superheroes iconography.
