This work was Inspired by the energy and colour of The Central Neighborhood at night. The busy, sparkling harbour, the throngs of people rushing about, the swirling traffic... a kinetic buzz fills the air.

This piece was created for The 13th Central & Western District Festival in Hong Kong.

The sculptures was installed on the sidewalk, in a glass case with integrated lighting.

Swire Properties partnered with the Central and Western District Office and NGO Redress to hold a three-week clothing drive at 20 locations in the district.

The goal was to connect people and inspire them to be more sustainable in their day-to-day choices.
