Description

This artwork explores the delicate interplay between hope, change, and resilience in the face of uncertainty. It captures a journey of rediscovering inner strength, inspired by past connections and collective memories. The recurring motif of "信" (faith / message) symbolizes enduring promises and shared human experiences, even as tangible forms like words and symbols fade. The imagery of paper planes represents the act of carrying hope and emotional warmth forward, transcending time and space to create unity. Through this piece, the artist invites viewers to reflect on their own moments of faith and to continue spreading messages of hope and connection in their unique ways.

This piece features a small, quiet figure—dressed in a yellow raincoat, holding a folded umbrella, surrounded by scattered paper planes. At first glance, it feels almost toy-like, but immediately brings back memories of Hong Kong's Umbrella Movement. The figure's eyes are covered, yet a soft light glows from within, as if a flicker of belief still survives in the dark.

The artist doesn't shout; instead, they let silence speak. It's a gesture that recalls those long days on the streets, and also speaks to the present—how some things have changed, but still live on inside us. The paper planes may be small, but they carry messages that are still flying.
