Wall Street News Agency article (November 11, 2019) - "Five Cents a Can" by Leong Ying
"Siyan’s masterful artworks has given us a glimpse into this underworld of under-class citizens, here in our local neighborhood that most of society passes by each day, oblivious to who they are, and what they have to do to survive."


AABANY (Asian American Bar Association of NY) blog (November 4, 2019) - "Art Exhibition by Siyan Wong" by AABANY
"Siyan’s oil paintings of people who collect cans to survive (“canners”) together with a sculpture built of thousands of gold cans, other conceptual art pieces of the tools used by the canners... shed light on the powerful story about the people who occupy the lower strata of our current society."


Kickstarter campaign for Five Cents a Can exhibition (October 2019)
Generous contributors supported our art installations of 5,000+ painted gold cans. They supported this project's goal to make visible the many seniors who are surviving on pennies; and helped raise important questions through this exhibition. Awareness is the necessary first step before bold actions are taken to make change.
