Wrinkled, scarred or disguised, walls are witnesses to the
passage of time. The age of their cement tells the glory and
frailty of this town.
These walls were from a building I’ve been visiting since I was
small. The building will perish soon to make way for
redevelopment in Hong Kong. I try to decipher the mysteries of
these walls, and the stories they tell. While staring at the marks
on the walls, a vision of a cemetery emerged, but instead of
tombstones, I saw new towers and high-rise estates made with
“cement”.
Perhaps these were tombstones after all.
