陳美喬 CHEN Meiqiao
沙田蘇浙公學 Kiangsu-Chekiang College (Shatin)
我一直認為我是一位在茫茫人海中平平無奇的普通畫家。希望我的作品可以給大家帶來一些快樂幸福和希望！
I always think I am just an ordinary artist that can be found anywhere. I create artworks that aims to bring light to the world. Thus, I hope to deliver happiness or hope from my works, even though the effect may be small.
"Beyond School 學校之外"
學校雖為學生生涯相當重要的一環，但並不是全部。 這份作品的受眾為被學業所困的學生，通過描繪放學路上所見的彩色雲彩和巨大的海洋生物來表達學校與成績並不是一切，而世界很大，人生路還很長，不妨慢下來，看看學校以外的世界。
As students, my friends are often overwhelmed by different kinds of pressure from school. Therefore, I drew the rainbow coloured clouds I see everyday after school and the huge and marvellous creatures under sea to deliver the message that school is only a small part of our lives and sometimes, it is better for us to put away our identity as students to look at this beautiful world beyond school.

"Passing the Torch 傳遞火炬"
這件作品旨在探討人性與善的雙面性。作品中以火比喻善意，善可以帶來溫暖也可以帶來災難，正如同火焰一般。故事中的火帶來光明與文明，但同時也因被利用或濫用而惹來火災與災難。火神被激怒，但最後相信人們的善意並留下了最後一個火種。我想借此表達人們應從惡意手中保護自己，但不應放棄傳遞善意。
Passing The Torch I wanted to discuss humanity and duality of kindness, as such a great quality can bring both happiness and disasters. fire represents kindness, it can bring civilisation and hope but also can be used for evil purposes.I hope to express that we should remember to protect ourselves from malice, yet never give up of passing the torch of kindness.

關智遠 KWAN Chi Yuen
東華三院吳祥川紀念中學 TWGHs SCGaw Memorial College
從小開始學習繪畫，並對古代神話，奇幻生物和電影抱有濃厚興趣，最喜歡的藝術家之一是金子一馬。
I started drawing since I was a kid, I don't like to be as same as others so I always prefer finding some movies or games which are interesting but not very popular to look for inspiration, such as monsters in Shin Megami Tensei, artist put his own understandings into the original myth and fairy tales to create a brand new image, Which is the way I'm following. Also I watch different movies to train my taste personally but not similar to most of people.
"The Shadow 影子裡"
作品的草稿是我在又疲累又煩躁的情緒下定下來的，畫的是一個上班族在結束一天的工作後累得直接坐在了巷子的樓梯上。不過比起工作本身，在別人面前偽裝自己才是會讓人身心俱疲的主要原因，但是為了不被視為異類這都是必須做的事。當我們離開了人群後才能脫下面具，享受片刻身心合一的舒暢。
This project shows a office worker who is tired and sitting on the stairs in the back alley.In the morning of a day,people put on a mask and act like the character that others want them to be,because they don't want to be like a outsider,but they know that it is not what they actually are,so they can just show their tiredness when nobody can see them.

"Courageux 勇者無懼"
這個作品是一幅以莫內的早期的作品"日本人"為基礎所繪製的作品，不過我在看到和服上表情堅毅的武士便決定把畫中的女人改成了一個拿着武武士刀(不過當時沒有查好資料畫成直的了)的骷髏頭人，有一種就算是死亡也無法停止他勇往直前的決心。
The project is based on a paint that Claude Monet’s created in his early stage called”La Japonaise”,and I changed the woman into a skullike creature who was holding a katana,and the word from the back means“brave”because I believe that brave is the most important behavior of a semerai,even until death.
"Courageux". 2023. Acrylic on paper. 420 x 594 mm
"Death and Reborn 死與新生"
作品是以連環圖的形式表達，名稱是"死與新生"，故名思義是關於人在死後與新生之間的事情，而場景的沙漠則是在暗示死亡在心理意義上所象徵的荒蕪。死神參考西方的宗教傳說中代表死亡的灰馬騎士，放映機的枝條就像寄生蟲一般已經深入體内難以根除。而最後出現的櫻花的花詞為"新生"，而且櫻花盛開的時間很短，如同人類的生命雖然短暫卻很美麗。 我常常會在不同時候想象自己因事故死亡的樣子，想多了就開始對死後的世界產生了興趣，於是便以自己想象中的死後世界發展出了這個作品。
This work is represented in the form of a comic strip which is talking about the world after death and the way to Newborn.I usually think that maybe I will die in a random accident because I always see such accidents which kills hundreds of people and I feel even I can be dead in those dangers,at the same time I started imagine what will happen after I die,this question leads me create this work.
"Death and Reborn" 2023 . Marker pen、粉彩. A3 size x 10 sheet, A4 art book with 25pages

將自己內心的想法投放於作品身上往往更令人深刻，亦是如此令我更有動力、熱情去創作更多作品，充實自己。
Transform the insights in my heart and convey them to viewers are always the priority for me. It will deliver a stronger message and impress viewers way more without a doubt.Thanks to this thought, I get more motivation and passion to create, draw and design more artworks, so as to enrich myself.
"Constraint of College 學校的限制"
從中四開始，隨着學校越來越多的功課及測驗考試，都令我倍感壓力，於長達十多年的學校教育之中，有時真的感到非常疲累及迷茫。畫中以兩種截然不同的物料表現我個人的學業壓力，而畫中素描部份，穿校服的人正是我自己，躺臥在黑暗之中，眼神空洞無力，頭髮亦被膠紙、鐵夾及橡筋拉扯着，而腳則被萬字夾鐵鏈鎖起，畫中的文具刻意結合現實中的刑具，進一步呈現學業給予我的壓力。
Starting from form 4, more homework, assignments and quizzes are assigned for us to complete. Compared to junior form, I feel like I have way more to bear on my shoulders. During the years of schooling, I sometimes find myself exhausted and losing in both motivation and direction. In the artwork, I used two different materials to manifest my academic stress. In the pencil sketching part, the girl who wears school uniform is me, being upside down and lying down in the darkness. Having empty eyes while my hair is stuck and pulled by clamps and tapes. Meanwhile, my legs are locked by chains of clips. I combined stationaries and torturing instruments on purpose, so as to emphasize the pressure that school brings to me.

"Infinite Copies 無限複製"
本作着眼於香港嘅教育制度，希望引起所有學生共鳴。香港學校除了着重學生學業成績外，亦非常注重學生品行，期望學生能夠完美無瑕。這令我聯想到學校就如工廠，完美學生彷如商業世界中的產品，被人無限複製。許多學校都忽略多元的教學方法，令學生失去個人成長、發展。本作借學生產品化的概念，以模型的形式比喻學生被無限複製，最後賣給形形色色的人及地方，如學生畢業一樣，他們就如產品般被賣出社會。
The focal point of this artwork is the education system of Hong Kong. I hope to resonate with all Hong Kong students. Hong Kong schools consider students’ academic results and success, as well as conduct. Schools expect students to be flawless, impeccable and perfect. For me, schools are similar to factories at this point. Students are just like products in the commercial world, being copied and copied. Many schools neglect diversified learning. This sadly limits the personal growth and development of students. With the concept of product-like students and the form of gundam model, students are presented as products. They would eventually be sold and sent to the cruel society after graduation.
"Infinite Copies" 2023. 3D work and graphic design.19 x 29 x 6 cm
"ldeal vs Reality 理想與現實"
畫中講述學生畢業後於社會中的理想與現實。畫中分別有紅綠二色，望以混亂的畫面呈現出社會中理想與現實兩者的衝突。紅色畫面上，刻意使用車、錢浪及豪宅等元素，象徵大眾認為成功、有錢的既定印象，藉此表達畢業生對社會理想但毫不現實的憧憬。綠色畫面上，畫上了高樓大廈、被封上的出口、電腦及上下反轉的白領，期望以此表達社會現實的一面，無止境地工作，最後為的可能只是在香港這個細小而繁榮的城市買一個單位。
This artwork focuses on the ideal and reality of society after students’ graduation. Two different colors, red and green are utilized. With the chaos of layers, the clash of ideal and reality is well-presented. On the red layer, elements like cool car, gorgeous mansion and money waves are used to represent the typical impressions of being rich and successful. What I hope to show is the ideal, but unrealistic yearning of fresh graduates. On the green layer, skyscrapers, locked exit, computer and upside down workers can be found. I hope to convey the cruel reality of society. Nonstop working and worksing, maybe the only reason to work is just to buy a flat in this flourishing, little city called Hong Kong.

"Panda Commodification 熊貓商品化 "
人們為了利益而把熊貓商品化，以告誡人們保育大熊貓。
In this artwork,I explore how humans treat pandas as products in order to gain advantage. The pandas are fragile and sick because of the immune treatment and panda diplomacy. Hence, some of them become keychain and some are lying on the ground .

未來世界的環境受到嚴重污染，人類研發了機械花去吸引蝴蝶，以捕捉蝴蝶成為標本。
