Tao, Dow, Dao 道, 道, 道

Mixed media, imitation moneyt, Size: variable, 2005
The three words, 'Tao (道), 'Dow' (道), 'Dao' (道) are homonym in Chinese language.  The words "Tao' and 'Dao' are two English transliterations of the Chinese character. '道', while 'Dow' represents a leading international stock market index.  By using the character '道' as a symbol, the artist plays with its diverse contextual meanings - as an ancient Chinese philosophy teaching simplicity in life or its association with the contemporary society's pursuit of wealth in stock markets.  The contextual symbol here tries to bring out the polarized values of the traditional and the contemporary Hong Kong society, their extremes and contradictions.
