About the project

Co-presented by Hong Kong Arts Centre, Public Art Hong Kong and the MTR, local young artist Cheung Wai-lok’s artwork “Day” and “Night” are now displayed on the external glass wall of MTR South Horizons Station’s Entrance A and B from 28 December 2016.

Trees in the city are subjected to planning and confined to their designated spaces. However, the vitality of nature is uncompromising. Aided by sunlight, the silhouettes of trees are projected onto the stiff gridlines of buildings, extending beyond their limitations. Depicting the tree shadows casted on the concrete jungle in Hong Kong, “Day” and “Night” capture the very moment of the interweaving of man and nature, and rediscover the beauty of everyday life.
