The Secret Garden 秘密花園
A rooftop is somehow a private but exposed area. Some people use these spaces for storing miscellaneous old items while others plant; some rooftops are more organized and some are in disarray. Different people use rooftops in different ways; these areas are full of life and are representative of human sentiments. I call them ‘the secret gardens’.
每個人都需要一個可讓身心休息一下的地方。對我而言，天台就是這樣的空間，在那兒享受陽光與視野。這些天台空間，有人用來擺放雜物和舊東西，有人用來種植花草，有些井然有序，有些就雜亂無章，充滿生活氣息和人味。天台本該是私密的地方，但因為住宅高密度集中的關係，這種“私密”其實暴露在別人眼下。作品嘗試以俯視的形式把這個地方展現出來，我把她稱作“秘密花園”。

Peep 窺視
The round shapes stand for the scenes observed through a telescope. They are all about the signs of our lives in this tiny city. And our memories in behind…

The Changing Order 變化中的秩序
In Macao, the historic districts' neighborhoods applied urban planning from the days when Macau was still made up of two-storey buildings. In just a few decades, the two-storey pitch roof buildings were rebuilt into five-storey ones. And the orginally southern-European style houses with balconies were replaced by such buildings, which, from the second floor up, stretch along the street in a same direction- if looked from high above, the streets are like many a narrow crevices. In order to get more living space, the people built extra rooms on the rooftops. The original jumble of illegal rooftop constructions becomes a whole due to their plentiful existence, thus adding a unique texture to the city. The interesting part is that this was not designed by the urban planners or the architects, but rather an improvisation of dwellers.
I have long been observing the order in this constant change brought about by the involvement of a lot of people. It was only in the last decade, under hte huge impact of an external force that the original order started being broken.
澳門舊城區的街道源用當年全澳還是兩層建築物時期的規劃。在數十年之間，兩層高的鈄屋頂建築被重建到五層，而原本南歐式的陽台演變成從二層開始向街道方向延伸，從高處俯視街道變成了一條條窄縫。人們為了得到更多的生活空間，都在天台上加建。原本雜亂的僭建物在大遍的情況下形成了一個整體。一種特有的肌理被附加在城市之上。有趣的是這並不是由城市規劃者，建築師“設計”出來，而更多的是人的活動所致。
我一直關注着這個由很多人參與而形成並不斷變化中的秩序。只是近十年在巨大外力的衝擊下，原本的秩序開始被打破。
