Corner house was so significant to me while I knew that some sex workers had been living in the rooms of the building. On the other hand, this building will be demolished after the workshop with our artworks. It is to say that the structural history and countless memory of the building will be destroyed. During the span of the workshop I was a true stranger as there was one of the clients of those sex workers- a hero-leaving behind some of his infertile sperms of some sensitive moment. But some how the space got befriended with me and my art, as a result, my memories got occupied by that very little space with its own identity.
At the same time my previous decision (desire to draw a landscape of Hong Kong) and my new ideas (making a replica of the space I got in the Corner House) stand simultaneously. I endeavored to give life to its archeological memory and the socioscape I seen in Hong Kong while covering every part of that little room.
