About

In this project, the aim is same as the project in 2024. We used various art forms to allow the public to experience the beauty of nature, thereby fostering a sense of care for the environment. In addition to exhibiting my own work, I also took on a leading role in community art activities, engaging with the public and strengthening the connection between art and the community.

Background

After completing my Master’s degree in Expressive Arts Therapy in the Swiss countryside, I developed a deep understanding of how the integration of the five senses can spark creativity, as well as an appreciation for the healing power of nature on both body and mind. Upon returning to Hong Kong, I presented my first installation artwork at The Conservancy Association.

“Springtime in the wardrode”

In 2024, I created an improvisational dance performance inspired by the growth of plants. When I revisited the recorded footage, I was deeply moved and began to translate those movements into drawing.

This process reminded me of the years I spent beneath the Swiss Alps, where I lived through the cycles of spring and summer. Surrounded by mountains, I witnessed life slowly awakening—buds swelling, flowers preparing to bloom. Like the dance, nature held a quiet but vibrant energy.

Immersed in forests and alpine landscapes, I found strength in the natural world, and that strength carried me through the pressures of study. After returning to Hong Kong, I felt the passing of autumn and winter, until spring returned once more. It made me feel that the city, too, needs a breath of life. If we learn to look with appreciation, we may find nature’s gentle presence in the seams of the city, and in doing so, rediscover a sense of renewal.

Community art

In the community art activities, I led workshops for the public and participated as a dancer in improvisational performances
