ULily Kwong kwindawo yokuqala ye-LA yeMaison St-Germain.U-Lena Nicholson Mhlawumbi ukhe weva ngoLily Kwong ngaphambili. Ungumzekelo wangaphambili kunye nomyili wezakhiwo wangoku, ukufaka ufakelo kwihlabathi liphela (kutsha nje eNew York naseL.A.) kunye nobuhle bakhe bokutyikitya. Usebenzisana neempawu ezisukela kwi-H & M ukuya eMaiyet, kunye nomzala wakhe nguJoseph Altuzarra. Kwangoko kweli hlobo, wayila ukufakelwa kweentyatyambo okumangalisayo kwi-High Line ngokubambisana ne-St-Germain, kwaye ngo-Agasti, wagcwalisa i-LA Houdini Mansion ngolunye ufakelo olumangalisayo lobugcisa be-landscape, kwakhona ngokusebenzisana ne-St-Germain. Intsebenziswano (enye yeeprojekthi zakhe ezinkulu ukuza kuthi ga ngoku) yenza ingqiqo egqibeleleyo nge-Kwong, kuba yonke ibhotile yaseSt-Germain iqulethe ngaphezulu kwe-1,000 iintyatyambo ezindala ezibuthathaka, ezikhethwa kanye ngonyaka.
Sizise amawaka eentyatyambo kwindlu enkulu yaseHoudini eyindawo ekhethekileyo eL, uxelele uMbonisi. Ndibe nomdla wokwenene kwiindlela zokwenza nokwenza ubume bembonakalo yomhlaba kwaye ndiyizise iphila ngokusebenza, ubugcisa, umdaniso.

U-Kwong, ohambahamba rhoqo ehlabathini esenza umsebenzi nolonwabo, ubuyile kuhambo olubanzi lophando lwaya eNtshona. Ndiye kuzo zonke ezi paki zikazwelonke kuba lixesha leentyatyambo zasendle kwaye ndithathe iifoto ezininzi ezintle kwiirekhodi zam, uyachaza. Kuyonwabisa kakhulu. Ndikwi-airstream yeveki ephelileyo enesiqingatha!
Apha, umyili-oguqukayo-umyili-mhlaba uyathetha ngezityalo zakhe azithandayo, esona sixeko sihle sokuya kuyo kunye nokudibana kwezopolitiko kunye nokwakhiwa komhlaba.
Uqale nini ukuba nomdla kwindalo?
Ndibe nethamsanqa. Ndakhulela eMarin County, ekumantla eSan Francisco. Inkumbulo yam yokuqala idlala ngokubamba iflegi kwihlathi laseRedwood njengonkulisa. Ndiqale le klabhu yendalo xa ndandikwibanga lokuqala. Ndandinalo eli qela lamdaka, liphantsi kwamazipho amantombazana aza kuqokelela izinto ezisekwe kwizityalo ukwenza isonka kunye nesepha. Yayisusela ebusaneni, kuba sakhula singqongwe yiyo.
Ndandihlala ndisehlathini kwaye ndisoloko ndisemithini, kwaye abazali bam, xa babengandifumani-kuba ndandifunda emthini-baqala ukundibiza ngokuba nguScout. Utata wam ungumbhali kwaye angandixelela ezi Scout kunye namabali malunga nentombazana encinci egama linguScout eyayijikeleza ilizwe jikelele kuwo onke la mahlathi namahlathi. Eso yayisisipho naso, kuba sasindinika amandla okuziva ngesiqu sam, ngaphambi kokuba ndikhule ndedwa.
Ngaba ikhona intyatyambo othanda ukusebenza nayo kakhulu?
Ndamthanda kakhulu izityalo eMiami; Umsebenzi wam wokuqala ukuphuma kwikholeji osebenza kucwangciso lwedolophu yayikukulawula iprojekthi yeSithili soYilo se-LVHM. Ndivele ndathandana nezityalo ezikweleenjiko. Ndicinga ukuba banobuntu obuninzi kunye nobuntu. Uninzi lwazo lujongeka njengabalinganiswa bakaGqirha Seuss. Ndiyazithanda iintende, ii-cycads, i-monstera, ii-rhododendrons kunye nezityalo ezinamanzi amakhulu ezinamagqabi amakhulu. Kulapho uthando lwam lwezityalo lwalawula khona.

Injani imeko yezityalo kwindlu yakho?
Ngokwenyani ndinesixa seembiza zokuphinda ndiphinde ndiphinde ndikhulele kwiintsana zam zezityalo. Ndivuya kakhulu. Leyo yiprojekthi yam yangomso. Ndihlala nomzobi kunye nomzobi uKate Greer kwaye sihlala kwigumbi elidala likaKeith Haring kwiLower East Side. Kutshanje ndiye ndaya kwigumbi lakhe lokupeyinta kwiinyanga nje ezintathu ezidlulileyo, kwaye undivumele ndeza nazo zonke iintsana zam zezityalo. Kuyahlekisa, ndinabo iminyaka emithathu kwaye uyila olu lwalamano nabo kuba uyabankcenkceshela kwaye ubagcina bephila veki nganye. Ndine studio enkulu iBushwick kwaye ndinezityalo ezingaphezu kwe-100 ngexesha elinye, kodwa ayisiyiyo yokuphila kweManhattan.
Sesiphi isityalo ongasoze usebenze naso?
Ndizama ukuhlala kude nezityalo ezingadibanisi kakhulu ne-ecology-ezingazixhasiyo izilwanyana zasekhaya kuloo ndawo. Umzekelo, uFicus. UFicus yinto exhaphake ngokwenene kwaye abantu abaninzi bayisebenzisela uthango, ngakumbi kwiindawo ezishushu. Ndicinga ukuba zikhona ezinye izityalo ezihlala zihlala kuloo ndawo zibonelela ngokuhlola okukhulu. Ezi zinto zixhaphakileyo kurhwebo ezithengiswa njengesisombululo kuphela, ndizama ukuza nezisombululo ezingaphezulu koko.
Ngaba ukhe wasebenza nezityalo ezinqabileyo ngokwenene?
Umsebenzi wam wokuqala ukuphuma esikolweni bendisebenza kwinkampani yoyilo lwemozulu ekhethekileyo ekusebenzeni kwiindawo ezikude ngenene, ezinobunzima. Ndisebenza kuMbindi Ntshona Afrika, eMexico, eMontenegro, eBahamas. Oko bekuchulumancisa ngokwenene kuba inkampani iya kuqokelela uninzi lweentlobo ezifumaneka endle. Uya kubona iintlobo ezinqabileyo ngokwenene ezinzulwini zehlathi, kwaye iphantse yafana negadi yezityalo. Iiccycad zithatha intelekelelo yam — zaziwa ngokuba zizinto eziphilayo ngenxa yokuba zazizezona zibalulekileyo ngexesha leMesozoic leedinosaurs, kwaye ziboniswa kwimizobo yakudala. Into endiyithandayo yiCeratozamia, uhlobo lwee-cycads zeHlabathi eNtsha ezivela kwiikhamera zamaGrike, intsingiselo yophondo. Ndiyayithanda indlela yabo entle eqingqiweyo.

Idlala njani ipolitiki kunye noxanduva kwezentlalo emsebenzini wakho njengoyilo lokuma komhlaba?
Ndicinga ukuba ukukhuthaza indawo eluhlaza kwiindawo ezisezidolophini zivakalelwa ngokungathandabuzekiyo kwezopolitiko, ngakumbi ngoku, njengoko kuncinci utyalo-mali kunye nokunyamekela uxanduva lokusingqongileyo. Ukubonelela ngendawo eluhlaza kuluntu, ngakumbi iipaka, kubonelela ngexabiso elinje kuluntu olungalondolozwanga. Kukho iziphumo ezingcono zempilo, kuninzi ukuziva ungowakho, kuyonyusa amaxabiso ezindlu nomhlaba. Kukho amaxabiso abaluleke kakhulu afunyanwa ngabahlali beedolophu kwiindawo eziluhlaza ezidolophini.
Ngaphambili ubusebenza kwimfashini, kwaye usasebenzisana neempawu ezininzi zefashoni kwindima yakho yangoku. Kukuphi ukufana okukhoyo phakathi kwefashoni kunye nokuyila umhlaba?
Ndandihlala estudiyo sikaJoseph xa wayesungula iAltuzarra, kwaye wayezakuqokelela ingqokelela yakhe. Kwakuninzi malunga nokuthungwa, ubungakanani, umbala, ukwakheka kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo yinkqubo efanayo endiyisebenzisayo ukuvavanya kunye nokuphuhlisa uyilo lwam lwendawo. Ndicinga ukuba iintlobo zeefashoni zam endizithandayo kunye neziqwenga zezona ziqwalaselayo kwaye zilungiselelwe owasetyhini oyinyani-umzimba wokwenene womntu.
Izixhobo, ukuchukumisa, ukuziva kunye namandla-ndicinga ngalo lonke ixesha xa ndiyila kwaye ndiza kuhlala ndibukele indlela abantu abahamba ngayo esithubeni. Imalunga nokudala uyilo lomntu wokwenene. Umntu ufuna ukuhambahamba njani egadini yakhe, okanye umntu ufuna ukuhamba njani kwi-High Line? Sihambile kuMgca oPhakamileyo iqela lamaxesha ukufumana ukuba isingqisho esifanelekileyo sasiyintoni kwezi mazes zodonga ziluhlaza. Ndicinga ukuba abayili, kokubini ekucwangciseni nakwimfashini, ebeka phambili ubomi bokwenyani ngaphezulu kwe-ego okanye izimvo zoyilo, zezona zihambelana ngokwenene.

Uye wakhankanya nothando lwakho lokutya okusekwe kwizityalo kunye nokuba sempilweni. Anjani amava akho ngaloo nto?
Yiloo nto ndaye ndanxanxathela kuyo xa ndafudukela eNew York. Ndicinga ukuba ndandiqhele ukuhlala kwindalo kangangokuba ndiza kuhamba ndenyuka emva kokuphuma kwesikolo. Emva koko andinakuphinda ndiyenze loo nto eNew York. Ke, kum, indawo yokubaleka kunye nokunxibelelana kwakhona nendalo yaba nezityalo kunye nokuya kwiyoga.

Ndisandula ukuqeshwa ukuba ndiyile iziko lokubuyela umva leehektare ezintathu eSouthampton eliza kuba ecaleni kweParrish Art Museum. Kumnandi ukukwazi ukudibanisa ezo zinto ndinazo kunye nabathengi abanelo xabiso kumbindi wenjongo yabo.
Ngaba ingqiqo yakho yesitayile sakho ithelekiswa njani nobuhle bakho njengomyili?
Ndichukunyiswe kakhulu bubugcisa obuncinci kunye nemibono ephucukileyo. Ndicinga ngesi sicatshulwa ngamanye amaxesha, Cinga ixesha elide, bhala ngokufutshane. Kodwa ndithobele kuyilo lokubhala. Izisombululo ezilula ngokwenyani zinokubonelela ngexabiso elikhulu, njengokhetho lwempahla olulula ngokwenene lunokubonelela ngomlinganiswa omninzi kunye nobunkunkqele, okanye uvuyo.

Kukho izinto ezinomdla ngokwenene ezenzekayo ngurhulumente exhasa inkxaso kunye nokukhuthaza amanye amashishini ukuba eze azokutyala imali. Ndichithe nje ixesha elithile ndisebenza apho. Yinto entle ngokumangalisayo.
Eyona dolophu ndiyithandayo ukusebenza eMiami naseNew York. Kuba ndicinga ukuba uMiami, ngengqondo, ndiyakwazi ukubonisa. Ndihleli eNew York ishumi leminyaka ngoku.
