Hong Kong Human Rights Arts Prize 2021 Winning Artwork
This year’s winning work Green Walls by Terence Li depicts the struggle that a Sri Lankan family faces in Hong Kong after their asylum claims were refused by the authorities. His video work borrowed the green screen techinique from video post-production to invite speculations, with the scene portraying the contrast between the poem recited in the video, Seasons of Trees, and the involuntary immobility of the family. The artist hopes the audience could experience the perpetual struggle of the displaced – a life torn between hope and disappointment, freedom and confinement.
