Book Description:
“Hong Kong Garden” documents a city that is in an aftermath state: post-social unrest, post-pandemic, and in the throes of recovery. Tsang has captured images from 2019-2024, primarily of plants and the city, embracing the themes of nature and control. As Tsang observes the ever-changing city, he is contemplating how eastern and western perspectives impact the way we see his home city, and questions which of these views provide answers to a better future. The book is sequenced in both directions, conforming to English and Chinese reading practices.
Hong Kong Garden is self published, and in process of printing the 1st edition of 50 copies.
