This project is a sequel of my previous art piece “Origami birds 1” showed in Conjunction 06. As I was born in Hong Kong and studied in the UK, the culture bombardment always interests me to investigate the identity and nationality, especially, the relation between myself and the two countries (China and England). I folded 35 origami birds and painted their wings with different messages and colors then I posted them one by one to the UK in their original bird shape from Hong Kong. Their wings were stamped with the date and Hong Kong stamps. It is like a traveler getting through the home office with their passport being stamped.
In this project I invited Miss Cynthia Nip who is without art education background to join in. She was born in the United Kingdom and raised in Hong Kong. The collaboration of 2 artists with similar backgrounds it helped to further clarify the misery of identity.
