To someone who wants to fly
Description
Born in Fujian, Lam Laam, Jaffa, received her MFA degree from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1999. Lam has participated in several artist-in-residence programmes, and more recently was active in community and public art projects. She co-founded the AiR Association in a bid to initiate cultural exchange and public exploration of art. Lam is known for her wooden sculptures and uses fairy tales as a way of self-expression. During the SARS outbreak of 2003, health care workers performed their duties with courage and some of them lost their lives as a result. She pays tribute to them with this piece where the broken wings stand firmly in everyone's heart as well as on this Heaven on Earth.
