"Look! The sea is burning."
Fire engulfs, while sea embraces. Fireworks are being setting off, while waves continue to rock back and forth. Perhaps, as the counteraction persists, from dawn to moonset, until apocalypse. No matter how absurd things appear every day, the world carries on, as usual.
Sadness, sorrow, anxiety and anger, feelings that are felt and by many over the past few months. Lucky are who are able to put their feelings in words while others sit in despair, speechless in thoughts, and silenced besides themselves.
Through these art creations, the artists hope to explore their visual vocabularies to depict and record the missing, restless and unspeakable moments that may reach out in resonance with their viewers. If sadness prompts people to listen to sad songs, may this exhibition be what the city needs at this restless time.
