visited an art exhibition over the weekend called Glory & Hope, by Simon Birch – a British born HK based artist. It’s not so much about how creative or visually stimulating his work is (but they certainly are in fact), but when i got to know more about his background, i find him inspiring and enlightening. he came to HK in 1997 coz he fell in love with a girl who then flew to HKG with nothing, no money & no experiences, but loving the city and started to become a self-taught artist. slowly things all went well and his career started to bloom but when he realized he got a very rare kind of cancer in 2008, then he went through all kinds of crazy treatments and finally fighting the battle WINNING it which pushes him to do something for himself and HKG. He applied for the fund subsidy from HKG government and seek many big corps such as Swire to support his event. I m so moved by his determination as he said, he was so near to death and now he could see things in another light and perspective. how many more of these passionate souls do we need in the city/world? just do sth – out of the genuine thoughts for yourself or the society!
