Across the three Umbrella Movement zones, Hongkongers have been using all sorts of means to express themselves and their frustrations with a government that has lost touch with their needs and stifled hope. Searlette Lau and Minnie Law are two City University students who put the finishing touches to their art installation on the walls of Legco yesterday.
Inspired by their professors description of art in other protests zones around the world and a global project called Insideout which transforms messages of personal identity into works of art – the two students wandered amongst the protestors picking out 100 who were asked to cover their eyes. The resulting images were blown up and pasted together to create the installation.
