Ha often went on scavenger hunts, especially in the area around his home in To Kwa Wan, where a community of factories and a densely-populated neighbourhood produced lots of waste materials: industrial scraps, useless auto parts, and discarded household items, etc. Ha was fascinated by the objects he found on the streets, and they often became a source of inspiration for his creations. By reassembling them, he enabled his sculptures to remain connected with his community, imbuing them with a strong sense of immediacy and warmth of appeal.Here, the metal spring base is fitted with two wrenches, giving it the appearance of a flying bird. The work demonstrates the artist's sense of boundless imagination and humour.
