Title of artwork: Hop for our future

Here is artist's statement:

Hopscotch is believed to be an ancient game passed down from the Romans. This was originally a training program for the soldiers.

But when the children saw their training, they changed it into a game and it had passed onto recent days.

This work combines hopscotch and aeroplane chess together. I have included images of planet earth, animals, and plants onto the top box of the hopscotch.

These hop scotches will be drawn on the floor. Audiences are encouraged to hop onto it by using a dice, and see how long will the audience reach the images I have put there.

By involving the audiences into a game like this, I hope we can keep in our mind, we have to depend on hard work (that is hopping) and luck before we can reach our goals of keeping our earth in good health, protecting our earth's treasures ( that is our environment, animals and plants).

題目:跳出我們的未來

相傳跳飛機是由羅馬而來的一種遊戲。據說它原本是兵士的一種訓練項目,但當小孩子看到後,便把它改變成為遊戲,而一直流傳至今。

此作品結合了跳飛機和飛行棋兩種遊戲。我把地球、動物、植物的圖片放入跳飛機的頂部。

而我會用膠布把跳飛機勾畫在地上。我歡迎觀眾用骰子玩這跳飛機,看看你需要多久才能到達那些圖片。

我希望觀眾通過玩此遊戲後能在腦海中記著:我們要努力行動(跳)和有運氣才能達到保持地球的健康、保護地球的珍寶(即是環境、動物和植物)
