 Wong Kwok-choi was born in 1970 in Hong Kong. Due to concerns about the future of Hong Kong at the time, Wong was sent away at the age of 14 to Long Island in the United States as a secondary school pupil. His chosen name "Kacey" is derived from the initials of his Chinese name. Wong was admitted to Cornell University, from where he obtained a bachelor's degree in Architecture. He has practiced internationally as an architect and artist. His sculptures explore philosophical ideas that engage the body of the viewer. He holds a master's degree in Sculpture at Chelsea College of Arts. Wong also obtained his Doctorate in Fine Arts from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 2003.
