‘In the local art circles, women artists have the freedom of expression but their voices and the issues that they are concerned with are always ignored. Ma’am’s Box tries to reveal the sensitive touches of women through their private lives, which are always seen as banal and trivial by mainstream art’ – Tsang Tak-Ping. This catalogue brings together a collection of multi-media works by five women artists with different backgrounds whose common concern is the sense of love in daily life. Short descriptions of the artists are included.

曾德平曾指出,本地女性藝術家的聲音和關注的議題未獲認真關注。「婆媽匣子」希望透過描畫女性的內心世界,來呈現她們纖細敏感的一面,這些特色常為主流藝壇視為瑣碎平凡、微不足道。本圖錄收錄了五名女性藝術家的多媒體作品,她們雖背景各異,但作品皆以日常生活中流露的愛意為主題。本圖錄亦載有各藝術家的簡歷。
