Running from September 17, 2025, to April 6, 2026, the show explores identity, memory, and heritage through objects that merge the personal with the historical. Works include [gold-leaf covered cardboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/through-the-keyhole), religious relics, and items drawn from Võ’s family archive, each arranged to highlight quiet transformation and reflection. The exhibition takes its title from Wong Kar-wai’s film Happy Together, echoing the theme of renewal. Rather than overwhelming the viewer, the pieces create a contemplative environment where everyday materials are recast as carriers of meaning. Within the newly reopened space, [art and dining intersect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cafe-kowloon) to frame a dialogue between culture and community. Let’s Start Over highlights how subtle shifts in material and context can reframe history, memory, and belonging.
