New York-based conceptual artist Wong Kit Yi shares a website, apartment and body with her business manager Ali Wong. “Kit Yi” was born in Hong Kong in 1982 and named as such by her parents following the advice of a feng shui master. “Ali” came about when a British expatriate teacher, who had trouble remembering Chinese names, assigned the moniker to her in class.
