🐰📱🐵

🙉:It looks very dimmed.....
🐰:Our city is too bright at night. Try to switch off your phone, let your retina relax, then you can enjoy better your surrounding.

🙈:Why not adding more lamps to the installation!
🐰:Hong Kong's night scene is filled with bright light. Instead of using lamps, a lighting installation can reflect, deflect and filter its surrounding to create different atmosphere. Without the excessive light, people can chill out around the pool. One more thing, this installation is designed to be so energy efficient that, it may use much lesser electricity than your home~

🙊:What if I can't take a good #selfie?
🐰:In fact, without the bright contrast, you can take both the installation and yourself in one good shot together.

🐵:hmmm... somehow I have seen this somewhere online before....
🐰:You are right! There is another set of installation exhibiting in Japan now, feel free to visit virtually here❤️

🐵: How about those carrots?
🐰: We have to thank the workers at Sik Sik Yuen. They saved the bottles for us in the past two years, whenever they rehydrated during temple preservation work under the hot summer sun. Surely, there are some other organisations that helped to collect the used bottles.
