Various “marks” or “effects” can be imposed upon a “photo”, resulting in transformation, destruction and distortion of the photo images.

In the process of the rapid development of the city, the “scars” of damage have been deeply seared into our living environment. Not only have the buildings of old Macao been transformed, dismantled, buried and forgotten but values have been changed, destroyed and distorted.

Except for expressing my viewpoints and feelings to the development of city, I also want to emphasize the medium of “photograph” and the material of “photographic paper” by tearing, incising, folding etc.

Old photos (comparatively traditional medium) as the starting point, I created a piece of video work, from “static” to “moving”; from the environment in “old photos” to “present” circumstances, which also means “old” to “new”.

*** This work was invited to participate the exhibition “Nostalgia Refreshed: Old Macao + New Media” in Macao Museum of Art in 2011. The exhibition themed on creating a work in the form of new media by starting with the scenes of old Macao (taken in different periods of time by senior photographers). The “Chapters 1-7” of “The Scars of my City” were completed in 2011. And “Chapter 8” was done in 2015.

「相」片被強加上不同的「痕」跡，相片的影像因而被改變、破壞和扭曲。

思考在城市急速發展的過程中，一道又一道的「傷痕」也刻進我們身處的環境。不僅是那些舊景物被改變、拆除、 覆蓋掩埋，進而遺忘，而是正確的價值觀被改變、破壞和扭曲。

由「澳門老照片」進而反思「今天澳門的城市發展」。

對照片所做的動作，包括撕開，切割，摺疊等等，除了演繹和表達對現今城市發展的一些看法和感想外，也同時希望強調「照片」這種媒體和「相紙」的質料。

由老照片(較傳統媒體)開始，創作一錄像藝術(新媒體)作品，由「靜止」到「可動」；由「老照片」的環境看「現今」的環境；也是由「舊」到「新」。
