Summary
Taste of Tears (Vol.02) is a comic zine that portrays the artist's working experience in a fancy restaurant that stimulates consumer desire by extravagant decoration of furniture and dishes.

The stories of the laborers are brought up as they become victims within this consumer system of the restaurant. Under the pressure of fatigue and physical pain when handling with a large amount of tableware and decorations, they collectively developed alternative strategies within the expanding order of food consumption.

About the artist
kycolun is a Hong Kong–based illustrator and zine maker. Influenced by automatic writing and whimsical creative processes, he juxtaposes contradictory values drawn from lived experience—such as the individual and the collective, the natural and the planned, humour and cruelty—to create surprising, chaotic yet harmonious visual narratives and present stories of alternative metropolitan life. These works explore the precarious, fleeting conditions beneath metropolitan order, as well as the potential and resilience for rebellion within it.
