Artwork Message:
Maybe today we are not living in the same place, maybe the situation is difficult for us to meet, but we share the same beautiful moon. Distance cannot separate us. Love unites us again. Let’s send a hug to those you care in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
You are also cordially invited to create with us your own artwork for Hugs without Distance in an exploration of your feelings on the themes of “Mid-Autumn Festival” and “Hugs”.
Concept:
Ken Lo Hiu-tang, a local artist, has created an illuminated art installation called Hugs without Distance based on the concept of “more hugs”. His work symbolises “coming together” – in today’s world, we can all be different but still love each other. Let us share the graceful moonlight and spread its warmth to every corner of the community in this Mid-Autumn Festival.
