Faith

FAITH
2008
mixed media installation
Botany Garden Function Room ( 20th-23rd November 2008 )
the Yellow Ribbon Project : Community Art Exhibition 2008

The installation tells a story of the inmates' journey in their process of reconnection to faith. The dark background symbolizes their past and is contrasted with the light within the sculptures. Phrases in different languages which revolves around the word 'faith' are written on the floor, visually connecting the 4 sections together, forming a larger landscape.

In this project, I jump into the idea of impermanent installation because the process of reconnecting will end at a certain point of time where the inmates are reconnected to their faith. This work is also an accumulative efforts of the inmates and public thus signifies not only the efforts from the inmates but also the public in receiving the new them.

The first 6 photos are the initial installation plan set up in my place's function room. While the remaining 7 are the set up installation at Botany Garden Function Room.

special thanks to Zech, Justin, the Yellow Ribbon Project, the very generous people who took care of the exhibitions ( names will be updated soon ) and last but not least, the boys from Reformative Training Centre.
