聚守儂情
BONDS OF AFFECTION
A temporary installation was constructed on Yuen Kong community farm, which is for the open day on April 2024 of the Caritas Yuen Long Rural Community Development Project. The work is a vision of accomplishment to encircle the green goal in mankind’s living chain. The rural community weaved bonds among neighbourhood to build work together through the body, as the tribal ancestors did in the past. After 3 months of stove making, the mud pit in the field not only contained the compelling moments of a group dance in barefoot that built the intimated connection with mud. It also revealed the indivisible bonds between nature and human activity. Consequently, this earthly tone mandala form installation gleaned the affection to the land work by using the original materials implemented the intact sense of tactile, to record every step of the primitive mud stove making procedure —
From our feet to stone and bricks,
water to the soil and body,
stirring between wet and dry,
emit the aroma of minerals through
one skin tone.
