Star illustrates events and protests against demolition of two historic sites: Star Ferry Pier and Queen’s Pier. The demolition raised public concern over the lack of heritage conservation policy in Hong Kong and the role of collective memory. Underneath the frantically arranged motion graphics and fast beats, it is a question to our cultural amnesia.

《天星》記錄了保衛天星碼頭和皇后碼頭兩個歷史遺跡的事件。拆卸喚起公眾對文物保育及集體回憶的關注;在高速節奏的聲音錄像演繹下,此作品是對文化失憶的疑問。
