Continuing with my photos of Hong Kong. Hong Kong Airport is a place where you can easily while away an hour or two, there’s always something different on display. As we were walking towards our gate I noticed several new sculptures that caught my eye. I would have like to linger longer on these but it was nearly time for boarding. I’ve had some fun editing these and framing them with Ribbet, a photo editing website.
“The group of artworks themselves own an interactive energy which can energize the place with laughter, vigor and warmth”
“Kite flying can be seen as a journey in the sky, a way to go free. It brings joy and excitement and endows with boundless imagination” – Li Wei-han Rosanna
“An airplane window that obscures the view with stainless-steel origami mirrors and a dichroic glass. As passengers look out the window, they become part of the illusions”
“Abstractly shaped artwork with a collage of colourful mosaic tiles. The back is copper plate. Passengers are encouraged when looking to relax their minds and forget about their troubles before they go on their wonderful journey”
“Whether it is a journey heading home or out to the exotic, travelling is often marked by moments of wait longing and yearning. Upon reaching the destination, it is the sense of relief mingled with joy and fulfilment that makes travelling an exciting adventure”
I have taken the liberty of copying the words with some editing that accompanied these wonderful works of art. Studying them definitely made the wait for boarding thought-provoking and diverting.
These are great, Ali! Especially the figures!

What a great way to add interest to the sometimes bland airport environment! And I like your edits, especially matching the colours of the frames to the contents.
