Arrow LAI Siu-Wai works primarily with woodblock printing, focusing on exploring self-identity as a Hong Konger in relation to everyday happenings in the society. This series of prints is derived from imagining televised firework displays during national day celebrations in 2047. The process of carving the firework patterns demands precision and attentiveness, akin to handling gunpowder. This technique allows him to intimately experience the explosive power of the fireworks. Simultaneously, through careful manipulation and recreation of images, it draws attention to moments within the explosive beauty of the fireworks and provides him with an opportunity for reflection on the public spectacle of shared identity and the tension between a beautiful moment and the anticipated changes of the firework.
