梁氏用最簡單的方式,四條膠紙象徵畫框,在旁寫上作品名稱及描述,用另一方角度呈現社會現狀,反思現今社會狀況是否正常。作品的技巧需求不高,材料亦簡單,每位市民都能參與其中。

Four adhesive tapes are used to symbolize the picture frame, with name and descriptions on the side, presented to prompt reflection whether the current social situation is normal. The skill requirements of the works are elementary, people can easily participate.

梁洛熙
九十後青年藝術家,大學畢業後從事設計工作,一年多後全職投身藝術創作。他一直關注香港的各種事物,例如文化、回憾、建築、城市發展等,主力創作與香港有關聯繫的作品。 
作品所選用的媒體都是一些因發展而被遺忘的物件,例如 : 樹葉,因城市發展使樹木和土地減少,忽略了環境保育的重要;文字書信,因科技發展而漸漸被電子通訊、圖像、語音傳訊等新方式所取代,
但文字卻是人類文明發展的歷史標誌,也是思想文流的載體。香港硬幣,因電子貨幣發達而使原有的硬幣被取代。

Giraffe Leung Lok Hei
Giraffe Leung Lok Hei, a Hong Kong based post-90s artist, worked as an interior designer for a year after graduating from University, he was then determined to pursue a career as a full-time artist. 
As an artist, Giraffe shows great concern about his home city Hong Kong in various aspects such as local culture, collective memories of the local people, construction and urban development, etc.
His artwork often features materials that were once highly valued to many Hongkongers in everyday lives but became obsolete in rapid urban development.
In one of his art series, he chooses leaves as the medium to raise Hong Kong’s urban planning problems, diminishing of green areas and poor awareness in environmental conservation.
On the other hand, his handwritten characters work speaks to the unavoidable challenge of digital and communication platforms, where his coins work depicts a traditional form being gradually replaced by digital and virtual transactions.
