BIOCONCRETE
On the hillsides and along the riverbanks in the countryside of the New Territories, the authorities have constructed artificial slopes and waterways. These concrete structures are not merely cosmetic but serve to prevent landslides and floods.
During the dry season, as the constructions dry slowly, they reveal a lush vitality. Weeds, thickets, and mosses gently sprout out of the cracks and drainage holes, adding a dash of ornamentation to this man-made landscape.
I systematically record these man-made waterways and slopes with an impartial, modest, and detached point of view. My intention is to offer an alternative look at these corners, unmasking their nature and purpose, and to ponder the connection between nature and built-up surroundings.
