[2] He met his American-born partner of five years Timothy Edward "Tim" Dubitsky, an artist and designer, in New York City in 2004.
At Cooper Union, he became known for his personal style and his clear message—as well as a neon sign (reading "anus") in his East Village apartment window.
Typical of his early work are installations with a large number of the same industrial product which he would stack or assemble to create architectural shapes.
[3] Wong participated in Terminal 5, a 2004 art exhibit at the then-dormant TWA Flight Center at the John F. Kennedy International Airport[7] curated by Rachel K. Ward[8] and featuring the work of 18 artists.
[9] The show featured work, lectures and temporary installations drawing inspiration from the idea of travel — and the terminal's architecture.
[8][10] In 2006 Wong collaborated with London-based product design company SUCK UK to launch his environmentally conscious "Sun Jar", which continues to prove one of his greater commercial accomplishments.
Wong created a "book-gun" called I Want To Change The World, spoofing Karim Rashid's similarly titled monograph that had been cut out in the shape of a gun.
