PROVENANCE: BLINK GALLERY, Hong Kong This series focuses on raising awareness to the public of letting children to explore the world through play. Playtime is an integral role for children's development before they enter their adulthood. When children play, they solve problems and experience themselves as competent and masterful individuals. Through free play, children are able to discover and invent solutions to challenges. In this series, the artist is questioning how do we keep that fun, childlike freedom well and never let age or high-pressure education style extinguish the fire of our inner child?

Children are faceless symbolized the collective society where individualism is not fully encouraged. Figures here are soulless- like in grey tones and transparent looks, it is because of that spirits are suppressed and crushed by social expectations as well as heavy workloads, but the hidden pastel child-like colors in the background are giving the hope on foreseeing and promising to bloom once these children reach the ball , which metaphor the freedom.
