"Blocks is a collection of my topographic works focusing on the absurd and surreal living environment of the public housing in Hong Kong. Wandering in the public space of the various public housing estates through the years, I instilled my own experiences and memories in public housing into the many images of concrete that appeared deadpan and cold, similar to the introduction of civilization and its discontents by Sigmund Freud. The “Eternal City” in Ancient Rome, where buildings from different historical periods co-existed and overlapped in disharmony, was used as a metaphor of the mental lives of human beings."
