Speechless
I turn on the TV when the chief executive is going to have a speech. Even I know every single word in her sentences, I can’t understand the meaning and intention. The governors are talking, but not to us. They repeatedly speaking, but they don’t care if we agree with them. They don’t need us to listen. They just want to affirm that we know they are speaking.
Instead of communicating with the people sincerely, the government shoot people with blue liquid without any mercy. Blue is the colour of freedom and trust, but now become the color of hate and fear.
Speechless depicts leaders of Hong Kong, China and the Czech Republic. Using gentian violet to draw and trace over their faces in their rapid speech. The performance is illuminating the cold-hearted and ridiculous decisions made by government officers and politicians in dealing with a public issue.
How helpless the masses people can be, while the government is not willing to change and fail to improve the situation. At the end, citizens could only become strangers of the city.
