李慧嫻喜歡用雕塑來講故事,而且特別鍾情表達香港文化情懷,例如講茶餐廳文化的《粥粉麵飯》。她認爲她的雕塑不是自己一個人的事。她認爲整雕塑要考慮觀眾的感受,作品要同觀衆聯繋、吸引觀衆參與,這才是一個完整的藝術創作。
圖示的陶瓷作品《鴛鴦冰室(局部)》,是李慧嫻的茶餐廳陶塑系列其中一件作品。茶餐廳是李慧嫻經常流連的地方,喜愛喝鴛鴦,她以此為題,以陶偶代表單身客、情侶或朋友在喝茶聊天、使用電腦等,來表現她在餐廳所見。

Rosanna Li Wei Han is fond of telling stories with her sculptures. She is distinctive in embodying the local culture and sentiment of the city in her sculptural works. For example, her work Congee, Rice Noodles, Noodles and Rice is exemplary in evoking the local culture of cha chaan teng (Hong Kong-style restaurant or cafe). Her sculptural works intend to engage viewers in the story-telling. The artist believes that it is important to consider how viewers will resonate with her sculptural works in the art-making process. She believes that it is important for an artwork to communicate with viewers while engaging them in the artistic experience; it is an integral part of her artistic creation.
The Yuanyang Café (detail) is one of the sculptural works in Li’s cha chaang teng series of ceremic figurines. The artist loves to hang around in cha chaan teng and drink jin joeng (coffee with tea). Therefore, she chooses them as the subjects of her artistic creation. The artwork represents a mundane scenario in cha chaan teng, in which we can find single customers, couples or friends drinking teas and chitchatting, people using laptops, etc.
