LIVES IN HONG KONG
Theme 1: Street Art and Our City
Graffitis and street arts are interwoven into our city, and while we may pass by these artworks daily, we hardly notice their existences. These artworks blended into our city; they represent more than art but also our history and culture. Each piece of work from this set is a combination of a street art together with its surrounding to give a context of time, environment, and history. While each of these street art will eventually be washed away with time, this set captures a time of our city that will remain and be remembered and appreciated

I found this graffiti along Hollywood road. I combined this artwork with a photo of a staircase adjacent to the artwork. Unlike dragons and tigers, rhinoceros are not one of many traditional Chinese animals, but it fit in with its surroundings, just like Hong Kong, a melting pot of people and cultures.

Theme 2: Heritage
In our eyes, Hong Kong is city of skyscrapers that represent prosperity and advancement. During the development of this wonderful city, many sacrifices were made, and one of these included the demolishing of many of our historical structures that represent different times of our history and our heritage. This sets show us a different and important side of Hong Kong, and many of these structures are just around us.
