Apart from knowing there are many crazy sales and close of shops because of the financial tsunami, one of the most apparent aspects you can encounter is to see there are more and more shops went bankrupt when you hang around in streets.
It is never pleasing to see a dynamic and crowded place like Mongkok covered with so many “sell/rental” advertisement boards. It implicitly expresses a disappointing and depressing mood to everyone, objectively points out that many people are really get drown in this financial tsunami and no longer capable to sustain their businesses.
As an artist, I do believe there is something we can do (besides buying more to facilitate the economic cycle LOL) to encourage others and motivate them from this big downturn. Origami cranes symbolize hope and good luck, it is sincerely hoped that through the process of re-arrangement of those unwelcome “sell/rental” boards, we can see there are actually many possibilities.
It does. It is just a matter of what angles we are looking to the same thing, not only for the boards, but also the financial environment we encounter nowadays.
